Installing Netatalk on OpenIndiana
Install Netatalk
The unofficial OpenCSW package repository for Solaris and Solaris-likes distributes a netatalk binary package that can be installed through their package manager.
For building and installing from source yourself, for instance to get a newer version, follow the guides linked here.
Install on OpenIndiana
This article describes how to install Netatalk 3.1 on OpenIndiana Hipster using the legacy Autotools build system.
Update system and install compiler toolchain
$ sudo pfexec pkg image-update
$ sudo pkg install build-essential crackle
Build and install libtalloc
$ wget https://www.samba.org/ftp/talloc/talloc-2.4.1.tar.gz
$ tar xvzf talloc-2.4.1.tar.gz
$ cd talloc-2.4.1
$ ./configure CC=gcc
$ make
$ sudo make install
Build
Extract a tarball.
$ tar xvf netatalk-3.1.8.tar.bz2
$ cd netatalk-3.1.8
You should read the help message, in order to know configure options.
If the applicable libraries are installed, many options will be detected automatically.
$ ./configure --help
Do configure! The following options are not auto-detected.
$ ./configure \
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig \
CFLAGS=-I/usr/include/gssapi \
--with-init-style=solaris \
--enable-krbV-uam \
--with-dbus-sysconf-dir=/etc/dbus-1/system.d \
--with-pam-confdir=/etc/pam.d \
--with-tracker-pkgconfig-version=1.0 \
--with-cracklib
On successful completion, you will see a report similar to the following:
