compile nrpe on Solaris

[Joe Leone]

Thank you for the help, BUT still not complete. 
I have followed the various suggestion on the list and have made progress.

This is the procedure I have followed so far.

1    make distclean

2    ./configure --enable-ssl --with-nrpe-user=netsaint --with-nrpe-group=netsaint --with-nrpe-port=8086

3    Edit src/Makefile to add the second -I 
eg CFLAGS=-g -O2 -I/usr/local/ssl/include/openssl -I/usr/local/ssl/include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H

4    Edit common/common.h and added the typedef just under the #include
 typedef unsigned int u_int32_t;

5    Edit common/config.h Here I uncomment the two "unde"f and comment out the "define" lines. Without these changed I got the errors show below.

/* stupid stuff for u_int32_t */
#undef U_INT32_T_IS_USHORT
#undef U_INT32_T_IS_UINT
/* #define U_INT32_T_IS_ULONG 1 */


In file included from ../common/common.h:24,
                 from nrpe.c:21:
../common/config.h:54: syntax error before "typedef"
In file included from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.7/3.2.3/include/sys/types.h:33,

6    cd src and run the command shown to compile. This got rid of all the "Undefined symbol" errors with SSL.  The only Undefined symbol is with strsep does not exist in Solaris.  

gcc -g -O2 -o nrpe nrpe.c utils.c -I/usr/local/ssl/include/openssl -I/usr/local/ssl/include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -L/usr/local/ssl/lib  -lssl -lcrypto -lnsl -lsocket 


There are several mails about it and replacement code. http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-patches/2001/11/0024.html 

http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=lang_en&ie=UTF-8&newwindow=1&threadm=ThWK7.4%249s2.192%40vicpull1.telstra.net&rnum=6&prev=/groups%3Fq%3Dstrsep%2Bsolaris%26hl%3Den%26lr%3Dlang_en%26ie%3DUTF-8%26newwindow%3D1%26start%3D0%26sa%3DN

I gather that the function needs to be added to nrpe.c???. I'll have a go at that tomorrow.

Unfortanltly this does not seem to fix nrpe 2.0b3
May be it is the version of Berkley DB 4.1 that I am using is to New (that must be a first)

Tried different things like
CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.1/include
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.1/lib


Any other good idea's
