I'll post a "how-to" when I get round to it, but thought any of you that got dispondent on building a zabbix server on AIX might be interested in the fact that within the last couple of hours, I've done exactly that.
I've been running a zabbix server on AIX6, PowerHA cluster for a couple of years now, but previous builds have been as a result of a combination of compiling from source/installing software from pware / bull freeware and other sources.
However, the last build was performed on AIX7: (7100-01-04-1216)
I had to add one line to "nodehistory.c" as it complained about "unistd.h"
i.e.
#include "unistd.h"
I also had to comment out a line in "sms.c"
i.e.
/* options.c_cflag = old_options.c_cflag | CRTSCTS | CS8 | CLOCAL | CREAD; */
...but after that the following configure script ( with some "optional extras") seemed to go OK
...and in order to achieve this, I've installed some/most of the RPM's listed at the bottom of this post.
I'm also running PHP (version 5.4.10) and Apache on the same AIX7 server, but compile options for the PHP RPM (in the list below) didn't include things such as "bcmath" and "mbstring", so I had to build that from source with the following compile command:
When I get chance, I'll blow away the current installation and write-up a step-by-step guide, but if this post is inspiration to those of you who have tried, but failed to get a fully functional zabbix server on AIX, I hope this post re-ignites your interest :-)
as you apparently encountered a problem compiling server, could you please open a new bugreport about this ?
adding information on how you made it work would be appreciated
