I could swear I've configured the client side only very recently and did not have difficulty. Supporting evidence is that my Xymon server is SPARC and my Xymon NET machines are x86 and my clients are both Solarises and Linux. Would seem to me at least once I've tried a client-only type between all that, but I'm willing to do it again. What OS is this?

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.

A rule is missing in one of the Makefile and it can’t compile xymond_client.

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

Hello,

I’m still stucked on this problem.
./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.
