[rrd-users] some issues compiling rrdtool 1.4.2 on hp-ux

[Stoyan Angelov]

hi all,

i am trying to compile rrdtool 1.4.2 on hp-ux 11.23 (pa-risc) but i have 
several problems. i use hp's C/aC++ compiler and hp's make.
during configuration i get the following warnings:

<output truncated>
config.status: creating examples/Makefile
config.status: creating examples/rrdcached/Makefile
config.status: creating doc/Makefile
config.status: creating po/Makefile.in
config.status: WARNING:  'po/Makefile.in.in' seems to ignore the 
--datarootdir setting
config.status: creating intl/Makefile
config.status: WARNING:  'intl/Makefile.in' seems to ignore the 
--datarootdir setting
config.status: creating src/Makefile
<snip>


then, when i use make i get:

No suffix list.
         make  all-recursive
No suffix list.
Making all in po
Make: line 189: syntax error.  Stop.
*** Error exit code 1

Stop.
*** Error exit code 1

Stop.


i tried using configure with '--with-included-gettext', then i tried 
using the local gettext (version 0.15) with 
'--with-libintl-prefix=/usr/local' and finally i tried '--disable-nls' 
however the problem persists.

if i add the datarootdir setting to the respective makefiles then the 
warnings during configure disappear.

in the generated makefile i see the the 'POFILES = ' line 45 is empty 
and the same for 'DUMMYPOFILES =':

<snip>
42  MSGCONV = msgconv
43  MSGFILTER = msgfilter

45  POFILES =
46  GMOFILES =

and make fails again with syntax error on line 190:

188  # This target rebuilds a PO file if $(DOMAIN).pot has changed.
189  # Note that a PO file is not touched if it doesn't need to be changed.
190  $(POFILES): $(srcdir)/$(DOMAIN).pot

193            test "$(srcdir)" = . && cdcmd="" || cdcmd="cd $(srcdir)

194            echo "$${cdcmd}$(MSGMERGE_UPDATE) $${lang}.po

195            cd $(srcdir) && $(MSGMERGE_UPDATE) $${lang}.po 
$(DOMAIN).pot; \
196          else \
197            $(MAKE) $${lang}.po-create; \
198          fi
199



another issue - i commented out the problematic lines in the Makefile 
but make failed with another error:
