I personally prefer the separation of the client and server directories-
compared to BB, it makes things MUCH cleaner for us..    my $0.02.

Am I doing somthing wrong ?
Client binaries are always built. Even on a Hobbit server, you'd
probably want to run the client-side tools as well.

Thanks for the reply.

I am interested to replace my bb deployment with hobbit one.
I need to create hobbit server (for linux)and client packages(for 
solaris,hpux,linux).

May I suggest that in the future split the server and client binaries in
a 
more cleaner way(IMHO).
configue as server should only generate server binaries. if one want
client 
binary we then run "configure --client" to get it.
For now I can get by deleting /opt/local/hobbit/client directory after 
server install.

Also is it possible that you can have client and server reside at same
level 
as hobbit ?
like /opt/local/hobbits( for server) and /opt/local/hobbitc (for
client). 
the will make packaging more streightforwad  to deal with removal of
client 
installation path.

My idea installation path structure is like this

/opt/local/hobbits
  -bin
  -man
  -doc
  -web
  -www
  -etc

/opt/local/hobbitc
  -bin
-man
-doc
-etc

Again just my person opinion.
