24.8.2012 If you have previously used an older version of Netatalk, please read the chapter about upgrading first !!! Please have a look at the netatalk page on sourceforge for the most recent informations on this issue. http://sourceforge.net/projects/netatalk/ Binary packages of Netatalk are included in some Linux and UNIX distributions. You might want to have a look at the usual locations, too. Ubuntu package: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu Debian package: http://packages.debian.org/ various RPM package: http://rpmfind.net/ Fedora/RHEL package: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/search Gentoo package: http://packages.gentoo.org/ openSUSE package: http://software.opensuse.org/ Solaris package: http://www.blastwave.org/ FreeBSD ports: http://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html NetBSD pkgsrc: http://pkgsrc.se/search.php OpenBSD ports:http://openports.se/search.php etc. RPM Red Hat Package Manager package Deb Debian package Ports FreeBSD port Prepacked tarballs in .tar.gz and tar.bz2 format are available on the netatalk page on sourceforge. Downloading the Git repository can be done quickly and easily. Make sure you have Git installed. which git should produce a path to git. $> which git /usr/bin/git If you don't have one make a source directory. cd to this directory. $> mkdir /path/to/new/source/dir $> cd /path/to/new/source/dir Now get the source: $> git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/netatalk/code netatalk-code Initialized empty Git repository in /path/to/new/source/dir/netatalk/.git/ remote: Counting objects: 2503, done. ... This will create a local directory called "netatalk-code" containing a complete and fresh copy of the whole Netatalk source from the Git repository. In order to keep your repository copy updated, occasionally run: $> git pull Now cd to the netatalk directory and run ./bootstrap. This will create the configure script required in the next step. $> ./bootstrap Berkeley DB BDB Berkeley DB . At the time of writing, the following versions are supported: minimum 4.6.x In case Berkeley DB is not installed on your system, please download it from: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/products/berkeleydb/downloads/index.html and follow the installation instructions. Libgcrypt Required for OS X 10.7 and later. Libgcrypt is needed for DHX2. Libgcrypt can be downloaded from: http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Libgcrypt. Netatalk can use the following third party software to enhance it's functionality. mDNSresponderPOSIX or Avahi for Bonjour (aka Zeroconf) Mac OS X 10.2 and later use Bonjour (aka Zeroconf) for service discovery. Avahi must be build with DBUS support ( --enable-dbus). You can download Avahi from: http://www.avahi.org/. You can download mDNSresponder from: http://opensource.apple.com/tarballs/mDNSResponder/. TCP wrappers Wietse Venema's network logger, also known as TCPD or LOG_TCP. Security options are: access control per host, domain and/or service; detection of host name spoofing or host address spoofing; booby traps to implement an early-warning system. TCP Wrappers can be downloaded from: ftp://ftp.porcupine.org/pub/security/ PAM PAM Pluggable Authentication Modules PAM provides a flexible mechanism for authenticating users. PAM was invented by SUN SUN Sun Microsystems Microsystems. Linux-PAM is a suite of shared libraries that enable the local system administrator to choose how applications authenticate users. You can get the Linux PAM documentation and sources from http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/. iconv iconv provides conversion routines for many character encodings. Netatalk uses it to provide charsets it does not have built in conversions for, like ISO-8859-1. On glibc systems, Netatalk can use the glibc provided iconv implementation. Otherwise you can use the GNU libiconv implementation. You can download GNU libiconv from: http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/. To build the binaries, first run the program ./configure in the source directory. This should automatically configure Netatalk for your operating system. If you have unusual needs, then you may wish to run $> ./configure --help to see what special options you can enable. The most used configure options are: --with-init-style=redhat-sysv|redhat-systemd|suse-sysv|suse-systemd|gentoo|netbsd|debian|solaris|systemd This option helps netatalk to determine where to install the start scripts. --with-bdb=/path/to/bdb/installation/ In case you installed Berkeley DB in a non-standard location, you will have to give the install location to netatalk, using this switch. Now run configure with any options you need $> ./configure [arguments] Configure will end up in an overview showing the settings the Netatalk Makefiles have been created with. If this step fails please visit the troubleshooting guide. Next, running $> make should produce the Netatalk binaries (this step can take several minutes to complete). When the process finished you can use $> make install to install the binaries and documentation (must be done as "root" when using default locations).
