rsync - Oct 2004 - Cannot apply delete-sent-files.diff on solaris platform

I have been trying various ways and looking though the lists, but I can't
seem to find a solution.

 

I am running a Ultra2 with Solaris 9 and rsync 2.5.2, with the old
-move-files patch.

I want to upgrade to 2.6.3 with the delete-sent-files patch. Which I
understand is the new and improved version serving the same purpose.

 

Unfortunately my patch under Solaris did'nt work, so I d/l the GNU version
of Patch and I could complete the patch of that diff file.

Then I execute a make proto per the instructions and receive the following.

 

bash-2.05# make proto

cat ./*.c ./lib/compat.c | awk -f ./mkproto.awk >./proto.h.new

awk: syntax error near line 12

awk: illegal statement near line 12

awk: syntax error near line 21

awk: bailing out near line 21

make: *** [proto] Error 2

 

Could someone shed some light on this.  I need to run this this week. This
was supposed to be a simple upgrade.

 

I applied it to my other machines (RedHat) and they worked fine.  But this
solaris box I require this patch, because after the files are moved from
this machine the originals on the Sun box must be deleted to make room for
additional incoming files.

 

Sincerely,

 

Shawn Saunders

This is your awk complaining.  You could try running that command using
nawk or gawk (gawk will definitely work), but (if you don't have gawk)
the fastest kluge is probably to just add the new function prototype
manually to proto.h.  It is this:

void successful_send(int i);

Alternately, since you say you built this on other machines, you should
be able to just copy the updated proto.h file from one of your Linux
boxes (and, of course, skip the "make proto" step).

Wayne,

Thank you soo much! That last suggestion replacing the proto.h file with the
one from a successful build on another box worked great!!!!

Now can you point me to some good sources to learn more about the inner
workings of rsync. This will be for someone who hasn't coded for about 5
yrs. Though my interest is picked again.

Sincerely,
 
Shawn Saunders
