compile spine on sun sparc solaris 10

[mariog]

when i try to compile spine on a sparc; i get the following error:

gcc -I/usr/local/include/net-snmp -I/usr/local/include/net-snmp/.. -I/opt/csw/mysql5/include/mysql -g -O2 -o spine sql.o spine.o util.o snmp.o locks.o poller.o nft_popen.o php.o ping.o keywords.o error.o -L/usr/local/lib -L/opt/csw/mysql5/lib/mysql /usr/local/lib/libnetsnmp.so -L/usr/local/pgsql/lib -L/usr/local/ssl/lib -L/usr/openwin/lib -L/usr/lib -L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lmysqlclient_r -lcrypto -lkstat -lz -lpthread -lm -lsocket -R/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/lib

googling doesn't help me with this problem. does anyone have the same problem? how can I solve this?

thank you

Im guessing its missing libs or something. Check out my post on compiling spine on sol10 using the sun supplied net-snmp and sun studio instead of gcc

a lot of the initial issues i had were because the sun libraries were all compiled with sunstudio and were 64bit. when i switched from trying to use gcc to compile spine and used studio, it was a piece of cake:-

thank you for your answer; I will try sun studio. in fact i have been wanting to try it for a while.
big thanks

Hello mariog,

Did the link of repudi8or (http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?t ... highlight=) works for you? I have the same error when compiling spine in Solaris10 sparc.

Thanks,
Diego

Has this issue ever been fixed? I have already tried to re-install the net-snmp component:

and I am using Sun Studio, however when running make, I still get the very same error:

Any idea?

Update: I think I found the issue. In the Makefile you have to append "-lnsl" to the LIBS=
This did the trick for me, however I am still having problems with the SNMP libs when starting spine...

Thanks hosenbund.. you finally found how to compile Spine against a non-ancient version of Net-SNMP

As for your library problem, try to export the LDFLAGS variable before running ./configure to compile in the linking and runtime library paths into spine.

This is what I've done so far:

- Install Net-SNMP package ver. 5.4.2.1 from the blastwave repository and all of its dependencies. I suggest you to use pkg-get or you will go crazy as dependencies are many. Hope you have direct internet access or at least access to a proxy:

-bash-3.00# pkginfo -l CSWnetsnmp
PKGINST: CSWnetsnmp
NAME: netsnmp - Simple Network Management Protocol
CATEGORY: application
ARCH: sparc
VERSION: 5.4.2.1,REV=2009.08.22
BASEDIR: /
VENDOR: http://ovh.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/net-snmp/ packaged for CSW by Remko de Vrijer

Now, check out the latest Spine from the SVN repository:
http://svn.cacti.net/viewvc/spine/branc ... te#dirlist

Otherwise download cacti-spine-0.8.7e and replace the file ping.c, ping.h, sql.c and bootstrap with those in the SVN repository.

Now it's time to compile spine:

Code: Select all

# export LDFLAGS='-L/opt/webstack/mysql/lib/mysql -R/opt/webstack/mysql/lib/mysql'
# export CC=cc
# export CXX=CC
# ./bootstrap
# ./configure --with-mysql=/opt/webstack/mysql/compile --with-snmp=/opt/csw --enable-threadsafe-gethostbyname --prefix=/opt/spine
[.. edit Makefile and add -lsnl to the LIBS var as found by you ..]
# make
# make install

Feel free to replace /opt/webstack/mysql/compile with a directory containing the "lib" and "include" directories (libraries and headers) and "/opt/webstack/mysql/lib/mysql" with the directory containing the runtime libraries of MySQL.

Use SunStudio and SunMake to compile Spine. Unfortunately I couldn't compile it 64bit as Blastwave repository has only 32bit packages and it would have been too painful to recompile Net-SNMP 64bit from source including all of its dependencies.

Hope this helps..

Thanks for your reply Fabio!

I've compiled Spine as mentioned in your posting, using the Blastwave repository for Net-SNMP and also SunStudio for compiling.

the spine binary compiles fine now, however when starting it, I do get the error mentioned in this posting:
