[Xymon] xymon client make error solaris 10: No rule to make target `../lib/xymonclient.a', needed by `../client/xymond_client'

[Roland Soderstrom]

This is my rude procedure for compiling on Solaris.

I compiled several versions on Solaris, there is a few trick that you need to know.
For the server compilation you need a bunch of SUN freeware packages, I just use the same host for a client package, probably less deps for client only.
On the client itself you need some of these installed as well.
Same procedure for x86.
If you use blastwave packages it is a bit different....

setup compiling env.
groupadd -g 1001 xymon
useradd -u 62001 -g 1001 -d /usr/local/xymon -m -s /usr/bin/bash -c "Xymon Owner" xymon
This is for rrdtool, some strange dep, maybe not necessary for client as it doesn't need rrdtool. ( this will force use of gnu ld)
mv /usr/ccs/bin/ld /usr/ccs/bin/ld.orig
export PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin

Subject: [Xymon] xymon client make error solaris 10: No rule to make target `../lib/xymonclient.a', needed by `../client/xymond_client'

Hi everyone,
I am trying to compile xymon 4.3.10 on a Solaris 10 SPARC 64bit server.
When i run make, after a while the compilation stops with the following error:
...
xymond_client.c: In function `nextsection':

make: *** [xymond-client] Error 2
The ./configure.client report a

    clock_gettime() requires librt
I checked for librt libraries in /lib, they are there and in /usr/lib also, my LD_LIBRARY_PATH is correctly set (at least, I think so) and libpcre is installed.
Then, googleing I found a suggestion about adding
     LIBRTDEF="-lrt" in build/Makefile.rules
I did it, but nothing changed.

Can anyone help me investigating the error.

Kind regards,
 Daniele Barreca
