Installing Netatalk 2 on Alpine Linux

= Prerequisites

Packages required for bootstrapping the build system:

apk add autoconf automake libtool pkgconfig

Packages required for building:

apk add avahi-dev build-base cups cups-dev gcc libgcrypt-dev openssl-dev

Berkeley DB: As of Alpine 3.13.0, BDB is a deprecated package, so building BDB from code is required on Alpine. These are the rough steps:

1. Get the latest v5 tarball of BDB, e.g.: v5.3.28
2. Extract the tarball
3. From the source root, cd to the build_unix dir
4. Run the ../dist/configure script
5. Run make then make install
6. Configure netatalk with e.g.: ./configure --with-bdb=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.5.3

= Build

First, bootstrap the autotools build system:

./bootstrap

Second, configure the build system:

./configure --with-bdb=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.5.3

Third, compile and link the code:

make

Finally, install the compiled binaries:

make install
