Art_X Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I have tried the ebuild from the link posted in this thread http://forums.gentoo...e36a6f240f294c4 # Copyright 2011 Luca Berton # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 # $Header : $ DESCRIPTION="FOG package for Gentoo" HOMEPAGE="http://www.fogproject.org/" SRC_URI="mirror://sourceforge/freeghost/fog_0.32.tar.gz" LICENSE="GPL-3" SLOT="0" KEYWORDS="~x86 ~amd64" IUSE="" RDEPEND="www-servers/apache virtual/mysql >=dev-lang/php-5.2 net-misc/dhcp net-fs/nfs-utils" DEPEND="${RDEPEND}" src_compile() { econf --with-popt emake || die } src_install() { emake DESTDIR="${D}" install || die dodoc README CHANGES || die } but always get the error * ERROR: net-misc/fog-0.32 failed (compile phase): * no configure script found * * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 93: Called src_compile * environment, line 132: Called econf '--with-popt' * phase-helpers.sh, line 516: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * die "no configure script found" which of course would be right, after looking at the package there is indeed no configure script, the only install script is gearing towards red hat/fedora and ubuntu, has anyone got this working on Gentoo or can advise on a different cloning application, I would like to get rid of having to use Acronis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl L. Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I'm not too familiar with Gentoo, but I decided to take a look at this software anyway. While its a really cool idea, it seems to be very poorly implemented. The build process and binary installer are both convoluted and the program makes use of many patched or outdated utilities. In short, its kinda hacked together to even work on Ubuntu and Fedora. I recommend that you find another piece of software to do what you want - or find an interested Gentoo developer, which I am not. Generally, Clonezilla is a good substitute for Acronis. Will that work in this case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art_X Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 I will look into it, as long as it saves me having to spend $$$ every time acronis comes out with another version and as long as I can back up linux and windows 8 pc's with it and it works then its good for me :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl L. Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 If your main objective is to create full disk backups of Windows and Linux machines, Clonezilla should work well. It is much more mature and well-supported than FOG. If you want to boot it over the network, you can use one of the Debian-based images provided on the Clonezilla website. If you need to customize the image, the Clonezilla wiki has good documentation. Considering that there are Debian packages available for it (unlike FOG), its likely that you can also build Clonezilla in Gentoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
