RE: [hobbit] xymon-4.3.0-beta2 Compile Errors

["James Wade" <jkwade (at) futurefrontiers.com>]

Thanks, but I still can't compile the server version.

I guess I'll just continue using my current Hobbit Version
and wait and see if a stable release of xymon comes out
that will compile on Solaris 9.

I'm not really a code developer, but I would recommend that
someone who's developing the next release of Hobbit/xymon
get Solaris 9, download the freeware packages, and insure
the compile works without having to edit other library
files (ie... having to edit /usr/include/sys/signal.h.), and
without all the numerous errors.

fyi... I've downloaded a compiled a multitude of other products
and normally it goes fairly smooth. The last time I compiled Hobbit
on Solaris (Version 4.2), it was a fairly smooth process. 
I just had to make sure that I had all the Libraries, for example, 
ldap or rrd, but this version seems to have several compile problems.

If xymon is going to continue being a useful open source
platform for monitoring, it needs to run on other Operating
Systems and for our organization Solaris is a key system.

If the development team doesn't have access to Solaris 9, 
I am more than happy to re-try compiles and feed the outputs
and failures of the compile to the team. Let me know if this
is an option.

Thanks again...James

Looking again at your all log, there are other weird error messages (ld 
not found) and configure settings.

We have:
Solaris 9 4/04 (fully recommended/security patched)
GNU Make 3.80
gcc version 3.3.2

After commenting out "S_NONE" define in /usr/include/sys/signal.h, here 
below the steps we used for building a client.
