Description Aquila 2005-01-15 10:21:14 UTC 
When installing bacula without a database use flag (because it's a fresh install) the make fails inside Bacula because the #define HAVE_MYSQL || HAVE_SQLITE || HAVE_POSTGRESQL is not set. Requiring at least one database useflag seems reasonable to me.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge bacula on a system without any database use flag
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
the make fails for the Bacula director (altough not mentioned to the user, see 
bug #77038)
Comment 1 Aquila 2005-01-15 10:25:51 UTC 
A line like this will do the checking but I'm sure portage has some nifty script for the check too:
use mysql || use postgres || use sqlite || die "please choose mysql, postgresql or sqlite and enable the corresponding use flag"

Comment 3 Steve Romanow 2005-03-17 09:01:23 UTC 
See bug http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77510 a differing opinion.
Comment 4 Aquila 2005-03-17 22:28:28 UTC 
I disagree, as currently the make crashes. I have no problems with a client ebuild, but then it shouldn't crash.
Comment 5 Fernando Serboncini (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-07-02 21:06:07 UTC 
This is fixed in the new 1.36.3-r1 ebuild.
