Building the client on Mac OS X 10.6 🔗 link

Has anyone managed to get the client built under Snow Leopard? What I’m doing seems pretty straightforward, but the build fails. I run `./configure --client`, answer the questions, then `make` and it bombs.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

OK, let me ask another way…

Does anyone have a tarball of a Xymon client build from an Intel Mac? One built under 10.5 would probably still work. I’m just looking to have the `bb` binary on my local system for sending commands to the server.

Thanks.

Yes. I do. Thanks Time Machine.

One weird thing, which is worth another post: I still had the source I used to install under 10.5. It was also version 4.2.3. I wanted to install to a different directory, so I removed the Makefile, ran configure, and ran make again. This time, no errors. Any theories?

Because it screws up the order in which people normally read text.

Why is it bad to top-post your reply?

I have one, but it's at the office, and we're out until Monday here.

Happy to send it along on Monday, though.

I'm using Snow Leopard as well and I'm getting the same error messages
as Rob. Do you have any suggestions/workarounds, Henrik?

It would be nice if someone looked into this, but in the meantime…

I found and old copy of the source (same version) that I had used to build the client under 10.5. For whatever reason, it works fine. Here’s a copy (minus my Makefile).

http://skurfer.com/files/xymon-4.2.3-built.tar.gz

run `./configure --client` to create a Makefile, then `make` and `make install`.

Works for me anyway.

If you plan to run the client for monitoring purposes, you’ll also want this plist for launchd.

You’ll need to replace all mentions of "/Users/xymon/client” with the correct path for your system.

I’ve never used it myself, but some dipshit refused to read or try anything I suggested, so I got fed up and created one. :) See these threads:

Don't try to tell me a thing is important to you if the whole of your “support” entails forcing others to spend time and money on it.

Scratch that… someone did. I’m still catching up on the last couple of weeks but just ran across this:
