HPUX 11.0 snprintf compile problem alpha10

[welshpjw]

Did not have this issue under 1.1alpha7, but 1.1alpha10 (atleast) has got a couple HP-UX 11.0 issues for me. One is noted as problem in Solaris, also under:

http://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2818#post2818
(and is the reason for the "-lresolv" noted below)
The one that is kick'n my butt now, however, is something to do with snprintf:

Making all in src/zabbix_agent
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/zabbix-1.1alpha10/src/zabbix_agent'

make[1]: *** [all] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/zabbix-1.1alpha10/src/zabbix_agent'


Again, did not have this issue under alpha7. Building with gcc and just realy want the zabbix_agent... Please help.

Note: I am not a developer. I am just an admin. I can barely spell "make" (just keep that in mind when responding).

Thank you.

I reread the comment from the Solaris link I found above and tried the HPUX ansi C compiler instead of gcc and also made the noted change in include/snprintf.c. I still used the gnu make since the hp make didn't like the Makefile and got the:
/usr/ccs/bin/ld: Unsatisfied symbols:
hstrerror (first referenced in /var/tmp//ccCSXj3d.o) (code)

On a guess, I just cut-n-pasted the "cc -o ..." line and ran it from the src/zabbix_agent without problem. That is I have zabbix_agent in the bin dir????

Was this any help or did it confuse anyone like it confuses me???

Of course I submitted the second comment too soon... I still have no love with alpha10. I did not pay enough attention to the Makefile to notice the agentd cc line. It's realy the agentd I wanted and that does NOT compile. I still seem to get the hstrerror:

zabbix_agentd.c: In function `child_passive_main':

I removed hstrerror function from src/zabbix_agent/active.c (the err_no would be print instead) and zabbix_agentd compiled.
I found that hstrerror is a function not supported on HP-UX.
