[Box Backup] Compiling boxbackup chris-merge on debian etch?

[Tobias Balle-Petersen]

Hi Chris.

Thanks for your help.


Doing everything from the top:

1. Stop bbstored
2. Check that pid-file does not exist
3. check for running instances of bbstored
4. Checkout code
5. ./bootstrap -> ./configure -> make
6. cd debug/test/basicserver
7. ../../bin/bbstored/bbstored -DVT testfiles/bbstored.conf -> No such file
8. ls ../../bin/bbstored -> "Empty dir"

9. find /root/merge -type f -iname bbstored
/root/merge/release/bin/bbstored/bbstored
/root/merge/parcels/boxbackup-chris_merge_1708-backup-server-linux-gnu/bbstored
/root/merge/distribution/boxbackup/contrib/redhat/bbstored
/root/merge/distribution/boxbackup/contrib/suse/bbstored

10. /root/merge/release/bin/bbstored/bbstored -DVT testfiles/bbstored.conf
09:50:04 Unknown error in getopt: returned '?'

Any ideas?
