Question

Hi there,

I'm trying to get the WebDAVPlugin up and running. It relies on a package called TdbContrib. TdbContrib is packaged along with the source for its own tdb.

On trying to run the configure script for tdb, I encounter the following error:

[root@pinky tdb]# ./configure [...snip...] checking build system type... Invalid configuration `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu': machine `x86_64-unknown' not recognized configure: error: /bin/sh ./config.sub x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu failed

The system is a HP Proliant server with a dual-core Xeon processor.

Does anyone have a more up-to-date source for tdb? (Apparently it's not the one bundled with Samba.) Or, does anyone have any suggestions for changes to be made to the config environment so that I can get it to compile?

I've Googled, I've searched the TWiki support sites, I've looked through the bug database...

At the time I bundled TDB, there were at least three sets of sources available. I extracted and "lightly customised" the sources shipped with Samba to break the dependency chain. Unfortunately it's not quite as simple as just pulling that package, as the make was fairly deeply meshed into the Samba build system.

IIRC the Makefile is pretty conventional; I don't think there are any explicit mentions of processors anywhere in configure.in. It may be that all you need to do is to use a more recent version of configure, that knows about your platform?

Please don't hesitate to check in if you are able to get it working.
