[rrd-users] Re: hp rrd compile question

[Stefan Mueller]

jason,
i downloaded rrdtool 1.0.10 (we're currently using an older version at
our site), to see how compilation works this time.

architecture:	hp v-class server (v2500), 22-way, 24 gigs memory
os:		hp-ux 11.00
compiler:	hp softbench (ansi c bundle b.11.01.01)

different to earlier releases, configure runs without any error. when i
started compiling, i run into the following problems:

- configure says 'checking for finite... (cached) no'. our system has a
isfinite function, so configure should add to config.h:
	#define HAVE_FINITE 1
	#define finite(a) isfinite(a)

- configure says 'checking for isinf... (cached) no'. our system has a
isinf function, so configure should add to config.h:
	#define HAVE_ISINF 1

- configure says 'checking for strftime... (cached) no'. but also
strftime exists, so:
	#define HAVE_STRFTIME 1

i've added those things to config/config.h manually. then compiling runs
just fine.

the next errors occur with the linker:
the hp-ux linker does not understand '-pedantic' (although the compiler
does).
so i've just linked manually. this generates the rrdtool binary.

i was still unable to create the perl rrd modules, i get the following
errors:

...

ld: Invalid loader fixup in text space needed in output file for symbol
"$000000D7" in input file "../src/.libs/librrd_private.a(rrd_graph.o)"
*** Error exit code 1

Stop.



i've got no solution for this at the moment. fortunately i just need
rrdtool, and not the perl modules.

the whole thing is quite hacky -- but after all, i'm lucky it's working.
i guess the main problems are based on built in autoconf tests (perhaps
except the '-pedantic' error).

so far...
