Development Dependencies
While Amanda's run-time and build-time requirements are minimal, Amanda development requires fairly new versions of several tools.
Note that the process of building an Amanda distribution tarball:
- applies the autotools to generate configure;
- applies SWIG to build the necessary C files;
- and applies Docbook to build the manpage source.
So while these tools are required to build from the source in Git or Subversion, they are not required to build from a tarball.
General
- Bison
- >= 1.27
- note that this is required to build Amanda from distribution tarballs, too
- Flex
- >= 2.5.4a
- note that this is required to build Amanda from distribution tarballs, too
- Glib
- >= 2.2.0 (glib version numbering is odd. 2.13.2 is fine!)
- note that on some distributions you also need "devel" packages
- note that this is required to build Amanda from distribution tarballs, too
- rpcgen
- any version will do
- this is required for ndmp; building --without-ndmp will avoid the requirement
Autotools
- Automake
- >= 1.9.6
- Autoconf
- >= 2.60
SWIG
- SWIG
- >= 1.3.39
- SWIG-2.0.0 works, too
- note that if you are using MacPorts, you will need both swig and swig-perl
Documentation
For building the documentation (optional, only with --enable-manpage-build):
- xsltproc
- no known minimum version
- docbook-xsl-stylesheets
- 1.72.0 or higher
- docbook-xml-dtd
- 4.1.2, 4.2, and 4.4 (yes, all three)
