Can't compile agent 2.0 on HP-UX

[ericw]

I've tried to compile the 2.0 agent on HP-UX and can't seem to figure out what I'm missing. I've tried both gcc and the native compiler. Configure works fine, end up with this from make (and gmake):


cc -DSYSCONFDIR="\"/usr/local/etc\"" -g -o zabbix_agent zabbix_agent-zabbix_agent.o zabbix_agent-stats.o zabbix_agent-cpustat.o zabbix_agent-diskdevices.o zabbix_agent-perfstat.o zabbix_agent-vmstats.o zabbix_agent-zbxconf.o ../../src/libs/zbxsysinfo/libzbxagentsysinfo.a ../../src/libs/zbxsysinfo/hpux/libspecsysinfo.a ../../src/libs/zbxsysinfo/agent/libagentsysinfo.a ../../src/libs/zbxsysinfo/common/libcommonsysinfo.a ../../src/libs/zbxsysinfo/simple/libsimplesysinfo.a ../../src/libs/zbxlog/libzbxlog.a ../../src/libs/zbxalgo/libzbxalgo.a ../../src/libs/zbxsys/libzbxsys.a ../../src/libs/zbxnix/libzbxnix.a ../../src/libs/zbxcomms/libzbxcomms.a ../../src/libs/zbxconf/libzbxconf.a ../../src/libs/zbxcommon/libzbxcommon.a ../../src/libs/zbxcrypto/libzbxcrypto.a ../../src/libs/zbxjson/libzbxjson.a ../../src/libs/zbxexec/libzbxexec.a -lm

Anyone have any advice? Thanks!

From what I can gather, the problem I'm having is that those functions are part of the ipv6 libraries.. not installed by default. I only have 11.00 and 11.11 HP-UX installations, I'm not sure if this would work properly on an 11.23 machine. Is there any way I can skip this portion of the compile? Are 11.00 and 11.11 not supported by the 2.0 agent?

Thanks for the response.. I tried that one already though, configure fails here:

/usr/ccs/bin/ld: Can't find library: "ipv6"
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Since it's an old OS, the ipv6 libraries aren't part of the base install. If those are required I guess that's fine, but I'd like to know if there's another workaround.

You are welcome to test the fix in development branch:

svn://svn.zabbix.com/branches/dev/ZBX-5171

And if you do please add a comment in Jira:

https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBX-5171

if that works or not.

In order to compile Zabbix agent 2.0 and later on HP-UX prior to 11i v3 (11.31) you will need ipv6 library.

The reason is new feature of 2.0 - low-level discovery (LLD). This feature uses functions like if_nameindex() which prior to 11.31 were part of ipv6 library. Starting from 11.31 these were moved to libc.
