The stock amd didn't work for us in Mac OS X 10.3.
Here's how we installed am-utils-6.1-20031025:
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install
Create /System/Library/StartupItems/AMD with the files:
AMD
Resources/ -- copy from other directories in ..
StartupParameters.plist
Then, make sure that AMDSERVER=-YES- is added to /etc/hostconfig.
******************* the file AMD:
#!/bin/sh
##
# Start AMD
##
. /etc/rc.common
if [ "${AMDSERVER:=-NO-}" = "-YES-" ]; then
ConsoleMessage "Starting AMD server"
if [ ! -f /etc/amd.conf -a -r /etc/amd.conf.template ]; then
cp /etc/amd.conf.template /etc/amd.conf
fi
if [ ! -f /etc/amd.map -a -r /etc/amd.map.template ]; then
cp /etc/amd.map.template /etc/amd.map
fi
/usr/sbin/amd
fi
******************* the file StartupParameters.plist:
{
Description = "AMD server";
Provides = ("AMD");
Requires = ("Resolver");
OrderPreference = "None";
Messages =
{
start = "Starting AMD server";
stop = "Stopping AMD server";
};
}
*******************
With the beta's of 10.4 (64-bit) we're having issues with realpath()
and amd mounted directories, but hopefully this is just a bug that
they'll fix.
