Unable to compile zabbix 1.1a4 on AMD64

[den_RDC]

I can't compile zabbix on my AMD64 server... i guess it has something to do with the fact that it's running in pure 64bit mode.... This is the error i get :

Making all in src/zabbix_agent

Fyi, this is the information from gcc -v

gcc -v

Thanks for reporting this! Will try to fix it quickly.

I should have browsed the forum more carefully, as this seems to be the same error as this topic Here. I didn't found it because the gcc error seems to be in another language then english. The fix suggested there works for me.

It still can be a problem for systems having no va_copy() function. Anyway, I'm checking this later this week.

Got it...

In zebra's source...

include/snprintf.c

Around line 113, replace __va_copy by: __builtin_va_copy
Around line 121, ..same thing

You have to replace 2 occurences of __va_copy by __builtin_va_copy..

This should build pretty well...
