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.
