xymon-4.3.0-beta2 Compile Errors

The CSW packages are the same ones from Solaris Freeware,
just in a common directory we use here.

I would not know where that variable would be in other files. Is there a code fix for this on Solaris platforms?

Thanks...James

Tired it, but I get the same error.

This solution worked for us when compiling on a Solaris 9 box with only a few Solaris freeware packages installed. (we do not use CSW packages).
The problem is Xymon tries to define S_NONE as an enum in enventlog.h, but this constant is already defined in /usr/include/sys/signal.h.
Maybe S_NONE is defined somewhere else in your environement?

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.

Hope this helps.
