Description Rich Megginson 2007-01-12 02:15:49 UTC 
There are a few issues with building on Fedora (5 or later):
1) Need to be able to build with db4.2, db4.3, db4.4, etc.  This version
auto-detects the db version from the db.h file it finds.  In order to use a
different db version, just use --with-db or --with-db-inc that points to a
different db.h
2) mozldap and svrcore are now part of Fedora, so we need to look for those
components.  Look for mozldap6 first to allow building on RHEL-4 as well.
mozldap now includes libldif, so add that to the link line.
svrcore-devel is now just svrcore - a svrcore runtime package and a
svrcore-devel build time package.
3) FHS means FHS - /etc, /var/, prefix=/usr and exec_prefix=/usr.  It doesn't
make any sense to talk about FHS under a prefix.  This means the default build
will do /opt/fedora-ds/etc, var, lib, bin, share, and so on.

Fix Description: There are a few issues with building on Fedora (5 or later):
1) Need to be able to build with db4.2, db4.3, db4.4, etc.  This version
auto-detects the db version from the db.h file it finds.  In order to use a

that points to a

3) FHS means FHS - /etc, /var/, prefix=/usr and exec_prefix=/usr.  It doesn't
make any sense to talk about FHS under a prefix.  This means the default build
will do /opt/fedora-ds/etc, var, lib, bin, share, and so on instead of
/opt/fedora-ds/usr/etc.  --with-fhs resets prefix=/usr and exec_prefix=/usr,
and overrides the default settings for sysconfdir and localstatedir
So, different build types:
FHS - use configure --with-fhs - uses /etc, /var, /usr/lib, /usr/share, etc.
Nothing - configure - uses /opt/fedora-ds/etc/, var/, bin/, lib/, etc.

GNU style - configure --prefix=/usr/local - /usr/local/etc, /usr/local/bin,
/usr/local/var, and so on

Developers can use configure --prefix=/home/user/fds && make && make install to
install local versions

Changed QA Whiteboard to to_be_verified_by_dev.
Comment 5 Nathan Kinder 2007-12-14 23:22:04 UTC 
We have been building on Fedora 5 and later (and are even included in the
distribution) for some time now.  Marking as VERIFIED.
