[naemon-users] Trying to build naemon-livestatus

[Edgar Matzinger]

LS,

  I tried to build the naemon fork of mk_livestatus, and run into
some difficulties:

naemon-livestatus$ autoreconf -s
configure.ac:49: error: required file './ltmain.sh' not found
autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1
naemon-livestatus$ automake --add-missing
configure.ac:49: error: required file './ltmain.sh' not found

This was solved by extracting ltmain.sh from
mk-livestatus-1.2.8p9.tar.gz downloaded from Mathias' website.

After running ./configure and starting make, the following errors
appeared:

../libtool: line 949: X--tag=CXX: command not found
../libtool: line 982: libtool: ignoring unknown tag : command not found
../libtool: line 949: X--mode=compile: command not found
../libtool: line 1116: *** Warning: inferring the mode of operation is
deprecated.: command not found
../libtool: line 1117: *** Future versions of Libtool will require
--mode=MODE be specified.: command not found
../libtool: line 1260: Xg++: command not found
../libtool: line 1260: X-DHAVE_CONFIG_H: command not found

This was solved by changing '$echo' into 'echo' in libtool:

$ sed -i -e 's/\$echo/echo/g' libtool

After which, I came across this:

make[2]: Entering directory
'/home/edgarm/Projects/monitoring/naemon-livestatus/src'
  CC       livestatus_la-module.lo
module.c: In function 'reap_client_threads':
module.c:102:18: warning: implicit declaration of function
'pthread_tryjoin_np' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
         if (0 != pthread_tryjoin_np(*(g_client_threads[i]), NULL)) {
                  ^

This is just a warning. Strange though... pthread.h is included.

Next, this popped up:

  CXXLD    livestatus.la

This was solved by changing line 6164 of libtool into:

		$run eval "$cmd" # || exit $?

Commenting out '|| exit $?' The problem here is that $tool_oldlib has
no value and ranlib complains about nothing to do...

Now make builds successfully...

Kind regards and have a nice weekend,
