FreeBSD client 🔗 link

I've recently been tasked with getting the hobbit client on some of our
older servers.  The older redhat box was no problem, but I've got a
FreeBSD 2.2.6 box that is giving me fits.

 
I have downloaded the files to compile on the server, including
installing GNU "make" and then finding out later that gmake was already
installed.

 
When running gmake after a 'MAKE=gmake ./configure.client' I get the
following : 

 
ld: bb.o: malformed input file (not rel or archive)

gmake[1]: *** [../client/bb] Error 1

gmake[1]: Leaving directory 'usr/home/wish/hobbit-4.2.0/common'

gmake: *** [common-client] Error 2

 
As a separate issue (potentially) the Hobbit installer doesn't detect
the "make" that I've installed, though I can type 'make' at the command
line just fine where I couldn't before.

 
I've searched a bit through the archives and on the web, but can't find
anything that seems to point me in the right direction.

 
Any tips ?

 
Thanks,

system.

Try running "gmake clean" - this will delete all of the files that 
are built, but keep your client configuration. After than, the normal
"gmake" should build OK.

Henrik, 

Thanks for pointing out the obvious, I've been staring at it too long
apparently.

I've now run it into the --rpath problem that someone else reported here
:  http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2005/06/msg00001.html

Using that fix, I'm now getting :

gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wno-unused -D_REENTRANT -I/usr/local/include
-L/usr/local/lib
-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DBSD -I.
-I/usr/home/wish/hobbit-4.2
.0/include -DCLIENTONLY=1 -o logfetch logfetch.c ../lib/hobbitclient.a
logfetch.c: In function `logdata':

gmake[1]: *** [logfetch] Error 1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/home/wish/hobbit-4.2.0/client'
gmake: *** [client] Error 2


I used this fix : http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2006/07/msg00278.html to
get around that.

Now I'm getting this :

orcahobbit.c: In function `main':
orcahobbit.c:82: warning: implicit declaration of function `strtok_r'
orcahobbit.c:82: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without
a cast

gmake[1]: *** [orcahobbit] Error 1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/home/wish/hobbit-4.2.0/client'
gmake: *** [client] Error 2

I don't see a fix for this one.

This thread http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2006/09/msg00104.html popped up,
but it doesn't seem to have a resolution.  I've tried to run the patch a
couple of times, but not with any success, usually the patch errors as
some of the fixes incorporated in it are already in the system, then I
get the same errors when doing a gmake.

Thanks for all the help.

The really quick fix is to just remove the "orcahobbit" utility from the
client build. You won't need it anyway - so just edit client/Makefile
and delete "orcahobbit" from the line that reads
   PROGRAMS=hobbitlaunch logfetch clientupdate orcahobbit msgcache

Thanks Henrik, that did the trick.
