[Xymon] Xymon 4.3.3 svcstatus

[Scott, Brian]

Hi,

 

I was just setting up xymon 4.3.3 on a 64 bit FreeBSD system. Everything
went as expected until I drilled down on a test (svcstatus.sh) and
reliably got a server error.

 

To cut a long story short, the programs svcstatus.c, history.c and
reportlog.c (in web/ directory) have each had protective 'basename'
calls put around file names received as web parameters. The basename
function requires a function prototype because it returned 'char *'
rather than int. Casting an int to a pointer works in the 32bit world
but not when a pointer is 64 bits.

 

On FreeBSD at least, the appropriate declaration is in libgen.h. From a
quick look around it appears to be the same on a few other systems.

 

My solution is to add a

 

#include <libgen.h>

 

To each of the files listed above.

 

I don't know if this is something that would work everywhere or if it is
a job for configure to work out.

 

Hope this helps someone,

 

Brian
