[Xymon] Error compiling Xymon Client in client mode

Fri Jan 4 14:17:03 CET 2013

Thanks, compiling the server worked for me to get a good client for both 4.3.3 and 4.3.10.
Best regards.

Thank you ! Your method  worked for me too.
I will continue my tests of xymon client with that, hoping that it will be fixed in a future release.

I get the same result when trying to do the same thing (with v4.3.4 and v4.3.10).  I think that there's a bug in the way the client is built when using client-side configuration, and nobody uses it anymore so it hasn't been tested for a very long time.

It seems that if you first configure for client-side config, it will not create the lib/xymonclient.a file required.  However, if you first configure for server-side config and make, then re-configure for client-side config and make again, this problem goes away.

There are two more problems, it seems:  The file xymond/Makefile requires an adjustment for using libxymonclient instead of xymonclient, and some libraries need to be forced to link against it also.  So the following adjusted entry in xymond/Makefile worked for me:

../client/xymond_client: $(CLIENTOBJS) ../lib/libxymonclient.a
        $(CC) -o $@ $(RPATHOPT) $(CLIENTOBJS) ../lib/loadhosts.o ../lib/matching.o ../lib/timing.o ../lib/locator.o ../lib/libxymonclientcomm.a ../lib/libxymonclient.a -lpcre $(PCRELIBS) $(NETLIBS) $(LIBRTDEF)

I note that some of the libraries should have been pulled in with $(PCRELIBS) and $(LIBRTDEF) but these don't seem to have been defined when in client-config mode.

I've not seen anywhere where you posted any actual output from your attempts. I'm assuming the compile fails, but how?

./configure -client + client side configuration does not compile.

Does someone have any idea ?

Thanks

Objet : [Xymon] Error compiling Xymon Client in client mode

Hi,

I'm trying to compile to compile the Xymon client in client mode (./configure -client, + client side configuration).
I'm using xymon 4.3.10. I'm compiling on ubuntu lucid with pcre and pcre-dev installed.
I'm stuck at the build of xymond_client, where it needs xymonclient.a but there is no rule to build it.

Indeed, in xymond/Makefile :
../client/xymond_client: $(CLIENTOBJS) ../lib/xymonclient.a
        $(CC) -o $@ $(RPATHOPT) $(CLIENTOBJS) ../lib/xymonclient.a $(PCRELIBS) $(NETLIBS) $(LIBRTDEF)

I didn't find any rules to build xymonclient.a (only a libxymonclient.a in lib/Makefile)
Any help would be appreciated.
