Compiling Zabbix 1.5.3 on Solaris 8 Error

[Rodney]

I´m running Zabbix 1.4.5 on a Server with Solaris 8 without any problem. Everything is OK.

However, when I tried to compile Zabbix 1.5.3 on the same machine I´ve got the errors below:

================================================== ==

Anyone could help me?

Thanks.

No but I have the same error for both Solaris 8 and Solaris 10.
I get the error with both gcc and Sun Studio (11 on 5.8, 12 on 5.10)'s cc.

No one here have Solaris 8 or Solaris 10?

Attached is my config.log generated by configure (i did a ./configure --enable-agent)

This link may provide some answers.

This is a portability issue between Linux and Solaris. It doesn't matter what compiler you're using.

http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5265960

The above link notes the posibility of using stat() since dirent.h on Solaris doesn't have any definitions for d_type and DT_REG.

I'm not sure how the dev's want to resolve the problem but am interested in a fix since I use Zabbix on a SPARC Solaris 10 system.

Alexei,

You have an update on this? No good if 1.5.x cant compile on Solaris 10.
