The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Olivier Salaün <address@concealed>]

I just realized I read your first email too fast...

Sympa 6.x includes renovated Makefiles (now using Makefile.am features).
At the same time we have given some Sympa-typical choices to adopt standard ones. This includes some default target locations changes, default configuration files now being stored in $prefix/default/ directory.

You probably missed this part of the 6.0 ChangeLog :

*****   [Submitted by G. Rousse, INRIA] A lot of modification brought to the autotools usage in Sympa. 
*****   This is still a work in progress, but should make the life of Sympa packagers quite easier once it is finished.
*****   This work has greatly simplified all Makefiles, turned into Makefile.am
*****   Substitutions in perl modules are now performed at the "make" time, no more during "make install"
*****
*****   HERE IS THE LIST OF SIGNIFICANT CHANGES REGARDING THE INSTALLATION PROCESS:
*****   - Default sympa configuration files, previously stored in PREFIX/bin/etc/ are now stored in 
*****     PREFIX/share/default/ directory
*****
*****   - Most --with-xxdir configure options are now obsolete, replaced by equivalent standard --xxdir options
*****     Here is the list of concerned options : 
*****      --with-etcdir => --sysconfdir
*****      --with-bindir => --bindir
*****      --with-sbindir => --sbindir
*****      --with-libexecdir => --libexecdir
*****      --with-datadir => --with-defaultdir
*****      --with-libdir => --with-modulesdir
*****      --with-localedir => --localedir
*****      --with-mandir => --mandir
*****      --with-docdir => --docdir
*****      --with-sampledir => now installed with the documentation
*****    
*****   - Most default installation directories have been change to adopt standard FHS-compliant locations
*****     However, the distributed tar.gz still uses most of the previous locations to make upgrade process 
*****     less awkward. If you run "./configure ; make ; make install" with the tar.gz things will install as 
*****     usually. 
*****     If you run autoconf, it will define the set of target directories either the old way
*****     or the FHS way, depending on wether it finds an existing /etc/sympa.conf file.

address@concealed"> Hi Dan,

Please provide the output of the "make install" command (stdout and stderr).

Le 02/08/2010 22:43, Dan Milunus a écrit : I am attempting to install Sympa 6.0.5 on a linux machine and I am noticing that all of the files and folders are not being created. 

This is what I am running:

sudo ./configure -prefix=/var/sympa -with-bindir=/var/sympa/bin -with-sbindir=/var/sympa/sbin -with-libexecdir=/var/sympa/bin -with-cgidir=/var/sympa/bin -with-iconsdir=/httpd/icons -with-datadir=/var/sympa/bin/etc -with-confdir=/etc/sympa -with-expldir=/var/sympa/expl/ -with-libdir=/usr/lib/sympa/bin/ -with-docdir=/var/sympa/doc/ -with-piddir=/var/run/sympa/ -with-etcdir=/var/sympa/etc -with-localedir=/var/sympa/locale -with-scriptdir=/var/sympa/script -with-sampledir=/var/sympa/sample -with-spooldir=/var/sympa/spool 

then I run 

sudo make

and finally 

sudo make install

Everything seems to work just fine however, I noticed /var/sympa/bin/etc is empty.  I believe there are other file and folders missing as well.  As a test I downloaded 5.4 and installed it using the same method.  The folders were created and populated.  The issue seems to start with version 6.0.  Has anyone else experienced this issue?  What am I missing?

Thank you

Dan
