Hey, this may be impossible/not worth it but any chance of getting the OS X client work on 10.4 and/or PowerPC Macs?
Or if not are there Mac OS build instructions anywhere? I could try and get it working on PowerPC myself then.
It won’t work without a lot of effort. Apple changes APIs relatively often and there are likely a lot of problems on big endian (PowerPC) systems.
The client can be build using the standard ./configure && make && make install using the “linux” client source.
I found a few discussions about running urbackup on PowerPC Linux and other big endian systems, I guess I’ll just build it and give it a try. Is there a way to build the client without the GUI? I was looking through the configure options and didn’t see anything.
