[freeside-users] Makefile example for OpenBSD 5.6 & unknown option for install during make install-docs

Wed Apr 15 15:05:56 PDT 2015

Hi Sebastien,

Thanks for your advice. I did install coreutils, and located ginstall that does seem to be what was needed. Replacing install with ginstall worked, and the man page for ginstall seems like it was the GNU install you were referring to.

I've progressed through the installation of the required perl modules, and I'm ready to run "freeside-setup -D host.domain".  However, I get the following error:

"Use of uninitialized value in <HANDLE> at /usr/local/libdata/perl5/site_perl/FS/UID.pm line 423.
readline() on unopened filehandle at /usr/local/libdata/perl5/site_perl/FS/UID.pm line 423.
Can't get secrets: /usr/local/etc/freeside/secrets: No such file or directory"

I did initially install a lot of the modules with cpanimus (using sudo under a tech account), and not directly with the ports & packages under OpenBSD. That being said, the setup isn't complaining anymore about missing or broken Perl module dependencies. It was a rather long list, but I have SNMP, PostgreSQL, etc. all up and configured. PostgreSQL for sure.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Hello, 

I'm installing the current branch master of Freeside with, "git clone git://git.freeside.biz/freeside.git freeside". If that wasn't the correct version to use, please let me know. 

Once I got the point where I needed to edit the Makefile, I could tell right away it was defaulted for Debian 7. I corrected pretty much everything I saw in there for OpenBSD (there were plenty of helpful comments, thank you). I've completed the installation up to the point, "make install-docs" without error. Running that will output: 

make masondocs 
`masondocs' is up to date. 
#ancient attempt to avoid overwriting customer modifications directly to production web files that's overlived its usefulness 
#[ -e /var/apache2/htdocs/freeside ] && mv /var/apache2/htdocs/freeside /var/apache2/htdocs/freeside.`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S` || true 
#cp -r masondocs /var/apache2/htdocs/freeside 
[ -h /var/apache2/htdocs/freeside ] && rm /var/apache2/htdocs/freeside || true 
mkdir -p /var/apache2/htdocs/freeside 
cp -r masondocs/* masondocs/.htaccess /var/apache2/htdocs/freeside 
chown -R freeside:freeside /var/apache2/htdocs/freeside 
install -D htetc/handler.pl /usr/local/etc/freeside/handler.pl 
install: unknown option -- D 
usage: install [-bCcdpSs] [-B suffix] [-f flags] [-g group] [-m mode] [-o owner] 
source ... target ... 
*** Error 64 in /usr/src/freeside (Makefile:154 'install-docs') 

The install command has an unrecognized option it. Does anybody have a working Makefile for OpenBSD 5.6 with Apache 2/PostgreSQL? Alternately, any advice on fixing the install command correctly for what it's doing? 

Sincerely,

Hi,

 On OpenBSD /usr/bin/install is not GNU install, I think if you install
coreutils from the ports and point the install command in the Makefile to
/usr/local/bin/install you should be fine.

 Seb,
