Download binary package from GNU project's official homepage. An execute the following command to install it:

# /usr/sbin/pkgadd -d `pwd`/gcc-2.95.pkg

This HowTo was extracted from Michele’s blog and modified to compile with bacula ver. 2.2.4 (the last release at the moment).

I’m on of those poor souls, who still has an old SCO Unix box around. Having the need to compile a bacula-fd client on this box, I’m writing down a couple of notes, because I keep forgetting it everytime I need to upgrade to a newer bacula version (this time it was 1.38.11):

Configure with:

LDFLAGS=-lthread ./configure –enable-client-only –disable-conio –prefix=/usr/local

You’ll get the following errors:

UX:make: ERROR: fatal error.

You need to apply the following changes to src/lib/bnet_server.c:

If you come across this error:

Apply this patch too:

         int rval = (getpeername)(m_fd, (struct sockaddr *)&peer_addr, &salen);
         if (rval < 0) return rval;
     }

After that compilation should end up cleanly (I use a gcc version 2.95 on this box)

Note: This was updated to patch the getpeername compile error.
