Editing the configure script

[untergeek]

I'm not the first person who has had to do this, so perhaps this thread will be a good place to keep track of edits people have made to get Zabbix 1.8 to compile.

My version of Solaris 10 had a Sun version of libiconv.h in /usr/include. It also had the much more extensive GNU version in /usr/local/include. I had to edit the configure script to force it to see the GNU version (it failed otherwise):

Edit configure:
Change:

        if test -f /usr/include/iconv.h; then
                found_iconv="yes"
        elif test -f /usr/local/include/iconv.h; then

to:

#       if test -f /usr/include/iconv.h; then
#               found_iconv="yes"
#       elif test -f /usr/local/include/iconv.h; then
        if test -f /usr/local/include/iconv.h; then

AIX configure change found here (thanks coop):

http://www.zabbix.com/forum/showpost.php?p=54924&postcount=4

My instance of Oracle on AIX is 64bit which means that the $ORACLE_HOME/lib directory contains the 64bit libraries. If you want to access the 32bit libraries you need to point to $ORACLE_HOME/lib32.

I can modify the configure script on line 8934 from:

oracle_lib_dir="$oracle_home_dir/lib"
to
oracle_lib_dir="$oracle_home_dir/lib32"

This allows Configure to work. However Make Install replaces Configure without the changes.

My Config line is; ./configure --enable-server --with-oracle --with-net-snmp=/opt/freeware/bin/net-snmp-config --with-libcurl=/usr/local/bin/curl-config

On a completely side note, once the configure is finished I always have to modify ./src/libs/zbxsms/sms.c to remove the CRTSCTS variable from the code. AIX does not recognize this variable which is related to serial port communications I believe.

Just in case that might help someone else.

could you please document these hacks on the wiki ? forum posts aren't that easy to organise
