[rrd-users] Re: Questions regarding compiling rrdtool

[Jesus (John) Salvo Jr.]

WRT my earlier questions with compiling, I decided to try compiling rrdtool
1.0.3 on another box without MRTG, and let configure generate the Makefiles
as necessary. However, this time, I get:

/ExtUtils/typemap RRDs.xs >xstmp.c && mv xstmp.c RRDs.c
cc -c -I../src -I../gd1.3  -xO3 -xdepend     -DVERSION=\"1.000331\"  -DXS_VE
RSION=\"1.000331\" -KPIC -I/usr/perl5/5.00503/sun4-solaris/CORE -DPERLPATCHL
EVEL=5 RRDs.c
sh: cc: not found
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `RRDs.o'
Current working directory /export/home/jsalvo/rrdtool-1.0.33/perl-shared
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `perl_shared'
Current working directory /export/home/jsalvo/rrdtool-1.0.33
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `all-recursive'

Looking at perl-shared/Makefile, it shows that

CC = cc
LDD = cc
CCCDLFLAGS = -kPIC

.... instead of using gcc as should have been detected by configure. So I
changed them to:

CC = gcc
LDD = gcc
CCCDLFLAGS = -fPIC

.... and removed the -xO3 and -xdepend compiler flags as well.

It compiled finally.
I would still appreciate if someone can tell me how to compile rrdtool to
use the existing libpng, zlib, and gd packages.


Thanks,

John
