xymon compiling issues on Mac OSX 10.6 (darwin) 🔗 link

Henrik,

I was having problems compiling xymon on OSX 10.6 until I ran across this
old post on xymon developer list.
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=26609049
The 2 patches for Makefile proposed by the original poster fixed the
compile issues and I implemented the 3rd patch as well.   Have you given
any thought to merging these changes back into the trunk?

Thanks,

Hi Scott,

Could you please let me know why you've compiled your own xymon on Mac OSX ? Have you experienced problems with the macports ?

I guess Henrik didn't incorporated those patches because they might have created problems on other architectures...

As far as I know using the macports makes the installation of xymon on Mac easy. Since I started supporting these ports I never got any user feedback. Yours is weclcome !

Francois.

Francois,

Your right, mac ports makes the install of xymon easy. Mac users should use
that unless the had a specific reason not to like me.   haven't had any any
problems with macports, rather I just wanted to do some testing to mirror
our current production xymon server which was running 4.2.3.  I needed to
compile 4.2.3  and test.  Then I complied 4.3.3, 4.3.4, 4.3.5, and now up
to 4.3.7.   I can't recall the version of xymon on macports, but it was at
a higher version at the time.

Keep up the good work.

Xymon at xymon.com<

I forgot to mention the other reason why I compiled my own.  I also have a
couple of mac servers at work and wanted to build xymon client and didn't
need xymon server.  As I recall, the macport version is server based only.
 Perhaps some day you can build mac port of mac client only.

There's 2 ports for xymon:
- xymon-server - the server version
- xymon - the client only version

So to install the client version you may do "sudo port install xymon".


Now those names are probably not right: "xymon" port might sound "Xymon Server" to people ears. Did you expect "xymon-client" as client-only package name ?


There was some discussions about the names of those packages:

http://lists.xymon.com/archive/2010-November/029941.html

What would be your choice ?


About the version: I've just submitted v4.3.7 update. It should be available in a few days.


Thank you very much for your feedback.


Regards,
Francois.

Hi,

Thanks. Xymon server and client version 4.3.7 packages are now available for Mac OSX [Snow]Leopard and Lion through macports:
