Errors while compiling ZABBIX server 1.4.4

[anoy]

Hi folks,

I'm trying to compile ZABBIX server, but getting erros while the make install process. I've tried both, the cc and gcc compiler, with no success.
I guess the gcc is more comon so I will post the errors by running the gcc.

The plattform is

hp-ux 11.23ia

compiler versions

gcc (GCC) 3.4.3
cc: HP aC++/ANSI C B3910B A.05.55 [Dec 04 2003]

Add-on libs:

  Curl                          A.10.00-7.17.1.001 A Command Line Tool For Transfering Data
  Net-SNMP                      A.10.00-5.4.1.007 Simple Network Monitoring protocol
  xMySQL                        A.10.00-5.0.45.001 MySQL Database

configure process seems to do fine so far (reduced output):

./configure --enable-server --with-mysql --with-net-snmp --with-ldap --prefix=/opt/zabbix_v1.4.4

Unfortunately I'm not so familiar with the c compiling errors, so could somone please advise?

Thank you in advance!

[richlv]

you did 'make install' without actual 'make' step ?
(btw, 'make install' is not such a good idea - think about upgrading and removal of software packages)

[anoy]

just did what is documented?!

Hi,

I just did what is documented in the official zabbix manual. As you can see on page 43 in the documentation:

--> SNIP

Step 4 Configure and compile the source code for your system

Step 5 Make and install everything
shell> make install

<-- SNAP

[richlv]

well, "configure and compile" part involves actually _compiling_

[anoy]

Error messages are the same

error messages are the same even running

make

standalone first. So I think the documentation is correct.

[anoy]

even so just configuring with

./configure --enable-server --with-mysql --with-libcurl --prefix=/opt/zabbix_v1.4.4

(without snmp and ldap) there are still other erros:

You may safely remove the constant to make ZABBIX compile on your platform.

[anoy]

removed the constant from sms.c, getting thruw zbxsms and in the next error:

[Alexei]

Your compiler is too smart! You may either switch to gcc or replace:

housekeeping_process_log(now);

by

housekeeping_process_log();

[anoy]

seems to work, but ...

Thank you very much Alexei!

seems to work now, but is this all I get?:

I guess I have to create /etc/ files by my own from scratch?

[Alexei]

Yes, you are right

[anoy]

if that is the only thing left I'll do it uncomplaining

regards

[richlv]

well, not from scratch, just copy them from misc/conf and modify as required
