[OpenAFS-devel] Compiling source in Debian (Ubuntu)

[Vishal Powar]

Hi,

I am having some trouble in compiling the sources of (1.4.7) on
ubuntu. I have an existing cell made up of two machines. One acting as
the KDC,dbserver 'kerbserver' and other as a fileserver 'server1', I
have installed this according to the document 'Setting up a Debian
OpenAFS Server'. The debian paths are different than the traditional
afs paths, as shown in the two columns below, the first column is the
traditional path and the second column is the debian path.

      /usr/afs/etc        /etc/openafs/server
      /usr/afs/local      /var/lib/openafs/local
      /usr/afs/db         /var/lib/openafs/db
      /usr/afs/logs       /var/log/openafs
      /usr/afs/bin        /usr/lib/openafs
      /usr/vice/etc       /etc/openafs

I have downloaded the source from the openAFS site and compiled it on
'server1'.
'./configure  --enable-transarc-paths
--with-krb5-conf=/usr/bin/krb5-config   make    make dest'

As I understand there is backward compatibility with the previous
version and should run perfectly fine if I do the following

1) /etc/init.d/openafs-fileserver stop

2) Replace the binaries in /usr/lib/openafs (fileserver,volserver,salvager)

3)
bos install (host) fileserver
bos install (host) volserver
bos install (host) salvager

4) /etc/init.d/openafs-fileserver start

Now here is the problem, the compiled binaries do not follow the
debian file paths and work with the traditional paths. So the above
mentioned steps fail.

My question, what do I pass to the ./configure to get the binaries
work with debian filepaths?
'./configure --help'  did not help me, is there something else that I
need to do\think? anybody faced similar problem and found a working
workaround?

Cheers!!
