[rrd-developers] Re: RRDTool Installation Question

[Licari, Linda]

I actually tracked the problem down to this block of code:

/* perl 5.004 compatibility */
#ifndef PL_sv_undef
#define PL_sv_undef sv_undef
#endif

If I add:

#define PL_sv_undef() 

before the above block of code things compile (with warnings) and I produce
the RRDs.dll.  When put in the right place in perl directory structure it
works.

Now my question is why is this code here if you specify that RRDTool
requires Perl 5.6?

This code seems to be for backwards compatibility but I cannot build with it
there.

Please advice.

Thanks,

linda

It's been a while since I have used nmake, but I am going to guess that
you do not have the proper system include or library path.

Below, the error mentions redefining malloc, which is a standard c/c++
function. This points to a more general include/lib problem than
a rrdtool specific problem. Maybe your system libs are in a non-standrad
location? Search for "*stdio*" on your system to see.

Can you compile other program using nmake? If so, try to duplicate some
or all of the includes and lib includes from the working Makefile
to the rrdtool Makefile.

If you havr Visual Studio, you may want to try to create a new project 
and track down all necessary includes. It may be easier from the GUI
of Visual Studio.

Again, I am a UNIX programmer, so this may be wrong. But if this were a 
compile error on a UNIX box, what I have described would be the problem.

Good luck. I have had big problems with any kind of perl on Win
machines.
