freebsd 4.7 agent compilation issue

[ghislain]

Hello there,

i try to compile agent fro freebsd 4.7 (version 1.4.2) but i fail here:

version: 4.7-RELEASE-p28 FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE-p28
./configure --enable-agent --disable-server --without-jabber --without-ucd-snmp --without-net-snmp --without-pgsql --without-mysql

Any ideas ?

It seems your GCC is broken, really. Try to use a different version of the compiler.

[ghislain]

the 1.4.1 works like a charm but i cannot compile the 1.4.2. Does the agents have been changed a lot between the two versions on unix ?

We cannot help you if you won't provide more details...

I hope, this patch can solve you problem.

i tried it but i still have the same issue:

cd ../../.. && make  am--refresh
source='log.c' object='log.o' libtool=no  DEPDIR=.deps depmode=gcc /usr/local/bin/bash ../../../depcomp  gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../../include      -g -O2 -c log.c

i tried it but i still have the same issue:

Keep in mind, what you must recreate configuration script and reconfigure sources.

After software configuration, line with "HAVE___VA_ARGS__" must be comented in "include/config.h"

P.S.
to recreate configuration script, type:

> aclocal -I m4
> autoconf
> autoheader
> automake

[ghislain]

   102  15:25   rm -Rf zabbix-1.4.2
   103  15:25   tar -zxf zabbix-1.4.2.tar.gz
   104  15:25   cd zabbix-1.4.2
   105  15:26   patch < ../patch.txt
   107  15:26   aclocal14 -I m4
   108  15:26   autoconf
   109  15:26   autoconf259
   112  15:26   autoheader259
   113  15:26   automake14

result:

Hmm...  Looks like a unified diff to me...

i am not a dev so i done the way i was thinking it would have to be done to work. The 1.4.1 works but even with the patch the 1.4.2 does not compile.

[Eugene]

you can use this script.

Usage:
a) place script 'recreate', 'zabbix-1.4.2.tar.gz' and vaargs.patch in to the one folder
b) run 'recreate' script and you must see 'SUCCEED' finaly message
c) go to the 'zabbix-1.4.2', configure and compile

it fails
ps: i had to change the binary name as they are nammed this way on my freebsd box.

oh no... you'e have old version of automake...

So, in this case, you can try this path directly for configuration script.

P.S. this is a temporaly solution

[ghislain]

it still does not compile

*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/local/.aqadmin/home/zabbix-1.4.2/src/libs/zbxlog.
*** Error code 1

note i had not the same error as the AIX user. so perhaps this is not the same issue.

Hi Eugene,
Mine stop on:
a) aclocal
aclocal: not found
FAIL

Please advice, seem my box doesn't have aclocal binary. I don't have idea what aclocal is. And if you don't mind hope you can explain it to me and describe how to get it?
Sorry if this question is not more like unix essential, but i'll appreciate it.
Thanks,
BEE

Hi Alexei,
What is your recomendation of GCC version for better zabbix compilation?
Please advice.
Thanks,
BEE

[Alexei]

I made a workaround yesterday. Please try to use the latest 1.4.x code from www.zabbix.com/developers.php.
