How to compile client 🔗 link

Hi,

I need help compiling the client.

I have compiled the server and it's working fine. Now I need to compile the client but it doesn't compile. The first error (which I can't remember) I have corrected compiling the server before the client.

Now I get the following error:

make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/xymon-4.3.12/xymond'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `../lib/xymonclient.a', needed by `../client/xymond_client'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/xymon-4.3.12/xymond'
make: *** [xymond-client] Error 2


So I tried to change the file ./xymond/Makefile to the following:

../client/xymond_client: $(CLIENTOBJS) ../lib/libxymonclient.a
        $(CC) -o $@ $(RPATHOPT) $(CLIENTOBJS) ../lib/libxymonclient.a $(PCRELIBS) $(NETLIBS) $(LIBRTDEF)

And now:

make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/xymon-4.3.12/xymond'
gcc -o ../client/xymond_client -Wl,--rpath, xymond_client.o    xymond_worker.o xymond_buffer.o client_config.o ../lib/libxymonclient.a -L -lpcre

/usr/src/xymon-4.3.12/xymond/xymond_client.c:500: undefined reference to `addtostatus'

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

This is what I get when I run "make -s" as instructed after running ./configure.client...

# ./configure.client 

Configuration script for Xymon client

This script asks a few questions and builds a Makefile to compile Xymon

Checking your make-utility

Xymon normally keeps all of the client configuration files
on the Xymon server. If you prefer, it is possible to use
a local client configuration file instead - if so, answer
'client' to the next question.
NB: Local configuration requires the PCRE libs on each host.

Server side client configuration, or client side [server] ?

What userid will be running Xymon [xymon] ?

Where do you want the Xymon installation [/usr/local/xymon] ?

OK, will configure to use /usr/local/xymon as the Xymon toplevel directory


What is the IP-address of your Xymon server [127.0.0.1] ? 

** NOTE: Using 127.0.0.1 (loopback), but it is probably not what you want **


Using Linux Makefile settings


Created Makefile with the necessary information to build Xymon
Some defaults are used, so do look at the Makefile before continuing.

pcre and pcre-devel are installed.  I can;t find it at the moment but one of my runs complained about the clock_gettime() (?) call.  It was complaining about librt but I'm still trying to track that down.  This is on RHEL 6.3.  It's possible I may still be missing something.  I ran the full install (client and server) on my Ubuntu machine without issue.

Ok. After some research, here's what I did to compile the client on a Gentoo machine.

- Compiled the server
- rm Makefile
- ./configure.client
- vi Makefile
    PCREINCDIR = -I/usr/lib64
- vi xymond/Makefile
    ../client/xymond_client: $(CLIENTOBJS) ../lib/libxymonclient.a
            $(CC) -o $@ $(RPATHOPT) $(CLIENTOBJS) ../lib/loadhosts.o ../lib/matching.o ../lib/timing.o ../lib/locator.o ../lib/libxymonclientcomm.a ../lib/libxymonclient.a -lpcre $(PCRELIBS) $(NETLIBS) $(LIBRTDEF)
- vi client/Makefile
    IDTOOL=id
- And finally make
- make install

Then I just needed to change the main client task in clientlaunch.cfg and remove the --local option.

Hope this can help someone.

Thanks.
