Upgrading your Netatalk Install on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin

Required Packages

Install the following packages by "sudo apt-get install".

• build-essential
• libssl-dev (DHX auth aka DHCAST128)
• libgcrypt11-dev (DHX2 auth)
• libkrb5-dev (Kerberos V auth)
• libpam0g-dev (PAM)
• libwrap0-dev (TCP Wrapper)
• libdb-dev (dbd CNID backend)
• libmysqlclient-dev (mysql CNID backend)
• libavahi-client-dev (Bonjour support)
• libacl1-dev (ACL support)
• libldap2-dev (enhanced ACL support)
• libcrack2-dev (password ckeck)
• systemtap-sdt-dev (DTrace-compatible)
• libdbus-1-dev (used by afpstats command)
• libdbus-glib-1-dev (used by afpstats command)
• libglib2.0-dev (used by afpstats command)
• tracker (used for spotlight indexing)
• libtracker-sparql-0.14-dev (used for spotlight indexing) (version number may differ)
• libtracker-miner-0.14-dev (used for spotlight indexing) (version number may differ)
• zlib1g-dev

If tracker's version is unknown, you can know using command "dpkg-query -l tracker" or "aptitude search tracker".

Note that 12.04 only has libtracker 0.14 availabile at this writing. 0.16 has not been backported.

If libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev package is installed, remove it, in order to avoid conflict between Avahi and mDNSResponder.

You can type it as one command:

sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libgcrypt11-dev libkrb5-dev libpam0g-dev libwrap0-dev libdb-dev libavahi-client-dev libacl1-dev libldap2-dev libcrack2-dev systemtap-sdt-dev libdbus-1-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev libglib2.0-dev tracker libtracker-sparql-0.14-dev libtracker-miner-0.14-dev zlib1g-dev

Build

Extract a tarball.

tar xvf netatalk-3.x.x.tar.bz2
cd netatalk-3.x.x

You should read the help message, in order to know configure options.

If the applicable libraries are installed, many options will be detected automatically.

$ ./configure --help

Do configure! The following options are not auto-detected.

./configure \
        --with-init-style=debian \
        --with-cracklib \
        --enable-krbV-uam \
        --with-pam-confdir=/etc/pam.d \
        --with-dbus-sysconf-dir=/etc/dbus-1/system.d \
        --with-tracker-pkgconfig-version=0.14

The version 0.14 --with-tracker-pkgconfig-version=0.14 must match the pkg-config version of the installed Tracker libraries. Use the following commands for finding the version info:

pkg-config --list-all | grep tracker
...

On successful completion, you will see a report similar to the following:
