Thank you for your work on this.
John, I think this should also resolve the problems you've been having
getting a client built the way you tried. To apply it, save the attached
file somewhere, then go to the xymon-4.3.16 directory and run "cat
/tmp/clientbuild.diff | patch -p0".
Chuckle. I spent an hour trying to learn why the diff would not apply. I was looking for differences between patch and gpatch and which version my Solaris has. It hadn't occurred to me that I would need to dos2unix your patch file :) Once I did that, gpatch happily consumed and applied it.
I had to do a couple more things to make this client build work for me. (I say 'work', but I have not yet run the client to confirm it works as expected. I have only built it without errors.)
1) The configure.client uses build/pcre.sh to locate the required pcre libraries. It does not, however, recognize the --pcreinclude --pcrelib options recognized by the configure.server file. Since I built the pcre libraries just for this application (and put them in xymon/pcre), I need to tell pcre.sh where to find them. I modified configure.client by inserting the parameter splitting block from configure.server.
2) clientMakefile looks up a group for use with chgrp -R.
This failed, so I inserted > IDTOOL := $(shell if test `uname -s` = "SunOS"; then echo /usr/xpg4/bin/id; else echo id; fi)
at the top of the file.
Tomorrow, I'll see if the client can actually talk to the Xymon server.
