You may get errors running make: Assure that you use the BSD-version of make, usually /usr/ccs/bin/make. Add /usr/ccs/bin to the path before running configure.

Solaris 2.6

You may have compilation errors on statfs.c if you're running, on a Solaris 2.6 host, a gcc that was not build on a Solaris 2.6 host. This happens because gcc stores fixed copies of some Solaris header files on an internal directory. You must rebuild gcc if you get this kind of trouble. Note, however, that gcc 2.7.2.3 does not support Solaris 2.6, you should upgrade to 2.8.0 or higher, or egcs.

Trusted Solaris

According to Julian Stevens <[email protected]>, the format of inetd on Trusted Solaris 1.2 is a bit different. Just before the user name, you should insert the word `untrusted': 

amanda dgram udp wait untrusted amuser /usr/local/libexec/amandad amandad

The patch-system script is *NOT* aware of this detail; you must fix it yourself.

SunOS 4.x

A bug in GNU-tar 1.12 causes it to miscalculate (in fact, to misreport) the size of filesystems. A patch for GNU-tar is available in the patches directory.
