[rrd-users] Re: problem with compiling rrdtool 1.0.17

[Trang Tran]

Thank you Dave.
Since it was complaining about ../src/.libs/librrd_private.a, i just made a
link to ../src/.libs/librrd_private.la.  I have no idea what that does, but
when i ran "make site-perl-install" again, it didn't complain.  I also went
into the mrtg.cfg and enable UserRRDTool to yes, and once again...no errors.
Now all i have to do is learn how to use rrdtool....
Thanks again!!

Trang

I just had the same problem under Solaris 2.6, gcc-2.95.2,
binutils-2.9.1, make-3.79:

   $ ./config.guess
   sparc-sun-solaris2.6
   $ ./configure --prefix=/opt/local --enable-shared
   $ make
   ...
   Making all in tcl
   make[1]: Entering directory `/opt/local/source/rrdtool-1.0.17/tcl'
   gcc -g -O2 -Wall -pedantic -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align
-Wmissing-proto
   types -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline  -fPIC -fPIC
-I/opt/local
   /include -I../src  -I../gd1.3 -c tclrrd.c -DVERSION=\"1.0.17\"
   tclrrd.c:357: warning: no previous prototype for `Tclrrd_Init'
   /usr/ccs/bin/ld -G -z text -L/opt/local/lib -L../src  -L../src/.libs
tclrrd.o -o
    tclrrd.so -lrrd_private -lm
   ld: fatal: library -lrrd_private: not found
   ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to tclrrd.so
   make[1]: *** [tclrrd.so] Error 1
   make[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/local/source/rrdtool-1.0.17/tcl'
   make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
   $ # failure

and temporarily worked around it with this kludge:

   $ find . -name '*private*' -print
   ./src/.libs/librrd_private.la
   ./src/.libs/librrd_private.al
   ./src/librrd_private.la
   $ cd src/.libs
   $ ln -s librrd_private.al librrd_private.a # kludge
   $ make
   ...
   $ # success!

It seems like a problem with the introduction of libtool, but since I'm
not really familiar with "libtool" yet, I've yet to generate a proper
fix for this to submit to Tobi...  perhaps others can help.

Dave
