building on Mandriva Corporate Server 4 🔗 link

I finally broke my bb environment, so I'm again trying to get hobbit
working.  I took the srpm provided by Mandriva, replaced the allinone
patch they had from Sep25 with the one from October 3rd, rebuilt the
package, and installed it.  When starting it, I see the following
messages in /var/log/hobbit/hobbitlaunch.log
2006-11-21 08:10:49 hobbitlaunch starting
2006-11-21 08:10:49 Loading tasklist configuration
from /usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg
2006-11-21 08:10:49 xfree: Trying to free a NULL pointer

During the build process, I get a lot of errors like:

acklog.c: In function 'do_acklog':
acklog.c:119: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of
'nldecode' differ in signedness
encoding.c: In function 'base64encode':
encoding.c:31: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of
'strlen' differ in signedness
encoding.c:34: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of

encoding.c:60: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of
'strlen' differ in signedness
encoding.c:75: warning: pointer targets in return differ in signedness
encoding.c: In function 'base64decode':

Any ideas?  I'd really like to get this running, but I've never learned
C.

I'll try to hunt down the package that provides lib/tls and see if I can
get a -debug packaghe loaded.

I don't think there's any functional difference in the patches, but package 
freeze was occurred before the release of the allinone patch.

/lib/tls/libc.so.6 would be glibc ...

However, I'm running a rebuild of the 4.2.0-2mdv package (client only, but it 
still has hobbitlaunch) on a 2006.0 machine with no problems, as well as on 
my cooker laptop and 2007.0 x86_64 desktop.

Also, all the RedHat boxen in my environment run rebuilds of that package, 
including the hobbit server.

Which files did you modify after installation?

I haven't got a CS4 install around at the moment, but I'll see if I can change 
that ...

I believe you'll find that /lib/tls is part of glibc.  It's something
to do with threads.  Sorry I can't be a bit more specific, but I do
remember it coming up in a discussion elsewhere about
threaded/non-threaded C libs.

Not complaining.  I couldn't get the SRPM on cooker to compile and work
either, so I thought I would try that...

The CS4 distro doesn't include a hobbit server rpm, so I need to build
one no matter what (at least, our private mirror doesn't have a tree
with that RPM...)

/lib/tls/libc.so.6 would be glibc ...

Yeah, I found it, but I don't have glibc-devel available on CS4, so I've
got to find the appropriate SRPM and rebuild it so I can install a
-devel package.

I've tried it on 2006 and CS3 as well, and have not yet been able to get
one to work.

None.  I wanted to see if I could just get hobbitd to listen on 1984
before I got anything else set up.

I've got several, so if you need me to do somthing I'm glad to do it.

It dies while processing the hobbitlaunch.cfg file. Could you send me a
copy of that file? Also, if you could run hobbitlaunch with the --debug
option it would help. I don't know how Mandriva decided to do the Hobbit
startup, but it would usually be in the ~hobbit/server/hobbit.sh file
that you need to add "--debug" to the hobbitlaunch command.

No new information added to /var/log/hobbit/hobbitlaunch.log - just the
same three lines I always get.  Let me try interactive startup rather
than running from init.d...

Now, reading through the strace, I think it is dying when
reading /etc/hobbit/hobbitlaunch.d/ There are no files there.  Let's see
what happens when I add one.  I'll make it blank for now....

[mcdonalddj at ldap ~]$ sudo touch /etc/hobbit/hobbitlaunch.d/00_test.cfg
[mcdonalddj at ldap ~]$ ls -l /etc/hobbit/hobbitlaunch.d/00_test.cfg
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 0 Nov 22
06:41 /etc/hobbit/hobbitlaunch.d/00_test.cfg

And let's start it up again....  Hey, it starts now!  Yeah!

Ok, with even a single file in /etc/hobbitlaunch.d, even a blank file,
it starts up and life is grand.  Now I just have to replicate my old BB
configuration and re-write the 300 paging rules, and re-write those
parts of my heavily hacked bbmap that I never got working quite right in
hobbit 4.1 but never pursued because 4.2 was going to add a new API to
gather some of those details.  At least that will keep me off the
streets for a few days ;-)

As I recall, the hobbitlaunch.d construct was added at Mandriva's
request, to make packaging easier.  Perhaps adding a comments-only file
in that directory, named 00_sample.cfg, would be the quickest way to fix
this.
