Compiling on Solaris 9 with Sun Studio 10

[darcuri]

I don't believe your Makefiles work at all with Sun's compiler. I'd love to use this product but I will not be installing gcc simply to compile one application out of the many I have to maintain here. I've already had to remove -Wall from one Makefile as the option is not recognized by cc. Do you plan to have support for building with Sun Studio? Or am I missing something here?

Here's an example of the many errors I'm getting:

Please try to replace (in file include/snprintf.c):

#ifdef HAVE___VA_COPY
#define VA_COPY(dest, src) __va_copy(dest, src)
#else
#define VA_COPY(dest, src) (dest) = (src)
#endif

by

#define VA_COPY(dest, src) (dest) = (src)

The warnings can be ignored for now, I've already fixed some on them.

Try to recompile and let me know about results. Thanks!

That worked. In addition, I modified the cc lines in the Makefile to remove -Wall, and added -llber and -lresolv to the LIBS definition:

LIBS = -lnsl -lkstat -lsocket -L/usr/local/lib -lldap -llber -lresolv

That gets me compiling fine with the Sun compiler. I'm not sure why the #ifdef HAVE___VA_COPY block is being treated differently with cc than with gcc.

[Alexei]

I don't think -lresov is required. What is -llber?

[darcuri]

-lresolv fixes this link error:

Undefined first referenced
symbol in file
hstrerror active.o (symbol belongs to implicit dependency /lib/libresolv.so.2)
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to ../../bin/zabbix_agentd

-llber fixed one of the link errors in my original post, where ber_free is referenced:

Undefined first referenced
symbol in file
__va_copy snprintf.o
ber_free sysinfo.o (symbol belongs to implicit dependency /usr/local/lib/liblber-2.2.so.7)
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to ../../bin/zabbix_agent

Just an FYI, the hstrerror ldd problem also happens on hpux 11.0...

I tried compiling Zabbix 1.0 on a HP UX 10.2 machine and this is what i get. The sys did not have GCC but used CC with these flags i think checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... cc
checking for C compiler default output... a.out
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
checking for suffix of executables...
checking for suffix of object files... o
checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... no
checking whether cc accepts -g... yes
checking for cc option to accept ANSI C... -Ae
checking for main in -lsocket... no
checking for main in -lkstat... no
checking for main in -lnsl... no
checking how to run the C preprocessor... cc -Ae -E
checking for egrep... grep -E
.........

The make commands output was this
Making all in src/zabbix_agent
Make: line 5: syntax error. Stop.
*** Error exit code 1

Stop.
And the makefile in src/zabbix_agent is
# Build rules

all:

cc -Ae -o ../../bin/zabbix_agent -g -I../../include zabbix_agent.c sysinfo.c ../../include/log.c ../../include/
cfg.c ../../include/security.c ../../include/snprintf.c -Wall
cc -Ae -o ../../bin/zabbix_agentd -g -I../../include zabbix_agentd.c sysinfo.c stats.c interfaces.c diskdevices.
c ../../include/log.c ../../include/cfg.c ../../include/security.c ../../include/pid.c ../../include/snprintf.c -Wall

clean:
rm -f *.o
rm -f ../../bin/zabbix_agent
rm -f ../../bin/zabbix_agentd

[Alexei]

Use GNU make, not standard make bundled with HP-UX.

Ok I managed to do that compilation manually and I've got it working now. Thanks a lot Alexi.
