Patch dependencies?
by greg.hubbard＠eds.com 22 Aug '06

Folks: I decided to catch up with the patches, so I tried to install these on my Sun server: client-options.patch client-testmode.patch double-contenttype.patch downtime-singlestatus-docs.patch hobbitfetch-dynaddr.patch infopage-duplicates.patch top-solarisclient.patch web-cookiehandling.patch zoomgraph-bgcolor.patch Foolishly, I tried to install them in this order. This does not work. On my system, web-cookiehandling.patch must be installed before infopage-duplicates.patch will work. Just an FYI. And, for newbies like me who haven't used patch before, the command to install a patch appears to be: $ cd [top of Hobbit source tree] $ patch -p0 < [patch file] [read output and look for errors, praying you don't see any]. To back out a patch that barfs: $ cd [top of Hobbit source tree] $ patch -p0 -R < [patch file] After patching, go through the "make; stop Hobbit; make install; start Hobbit" drill. Of course, everyone but me probably already knows this backwards and forwards. GLH

[hobbit] Hobbit dependencies on Solaris 10.

Thx 1Mb, Steve and Henrik, that was it indeed... -----Original Message----- From: henrik at hswn.dk [mailto:henrik at hswn.dk] Sent: 22 August 2006 16:17 To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: Re: [hobbit] Hobbit dependencies on Solaris 10.

The sunfreeware notes say: "Note that this version of gcc was created on build 60 of Solaris 10. If you are using a higher version, you will need to redo some of the header files. This is done by doing the following steps: cd /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i386-pc-solaris2.10/3.3.2/install-tools/ Put the line SHELL=/bin/sh on the first line of the mkheaders.conf file. Then run ./mkheaders This will correct some files and make the build 60 gcc usable on higher builds. I have tested this on build 72 and it works fine." This could very well be the problem.

[hobbit] Hobbit dependencies on Solaris 10.

Cheers Henrik, I believe the Core installation might be the "issue" here allright. Still, I do have those two libraries in place [minivip]/$ ls -l /usr/include/stdlib.h -rw-r--r-- 1 root bin 9296 Jan 21 2005 /usr/include/stdlib.h [minivip]/$ ls -l /usr/include/iso/stdlib_iso.h -rw-r--r-- 1 root bin 5383 Jan 21 2005 /usr/include/iso/stdlib_iso.h [minivip]/$ How do I go from here? Or, how do I check what directory gcc parses and/or how do I tell gcc to also use /usr/include ?

Solaris 10/x86 happens to be one of the platforms that I test-compiled Hobbit on before the release. I think you're missing some packages by doing just a "core" install. Check the files /usr/include/stdlib.h and /usr/include/iso/stdlib_iso.h; they should be 9296 and 5383 bytes, respectively. The latter one contains the definition of "NULL" which your compiler claims does not exist. > gcc -c -g -O2 -I. -I. -DPOSIX_MALLOC_THRESHOLD=10 ./pcre.c -fPIC > -DPIC -o pcre.o > pcre.c:355: error: `malloc' undeclared here (not in a function) > pcre.c:356: error: `free' undeclared here (not in a function) Again, these are really essential system library routines that are not defined by your build environment. Without these you just cannot compile very much C code.

Hobbit 4.2.0 hobbitcgi.cfg
by bb4＠richter-it.net 22 Aug '06

22 Aug '06

Hi Henrik, first of all I have to agree with all the others. This IS a really outstanding piece of software you've written. Thanks for that. I found a small typo in the above mentioned config file. In hobbit-ghosts.sh you use "...hobbit-ghosts.cgi $CGI_GHOSTS_OPTS" but in hobbitcgi.cfg the last S is missing so it reads "CGI_GHOSTS_OPT=...". Sorry to bother you with that. Best regards Torsten

I'll let the patches accumulate until it settles down, probably around mid-September and then do a 4.2.1 patch release.

That worked! Thanks! I hope I did not ask a redundant question. I try to keep up with the mailing list. Just a curiosity question. Now that there are a couple of patches out there, do you have a possible timeline for 4.2.1? -----Original Message----- From: Henrik Stoerner [mailto:henrik at hswn.dk] Sent: Monday, August 21, 2006 11:16 AM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: Re: [hobbit] Build Error on HP-UX for 4.2.0 On Mon, Aug 21, 2006 at 10:16:06AM -0400, Camp, Neil D.

minor shire update
by gjohnson＠trantor.org 22 Aug '06

22 Aug '06

I've had some time to add a few mailing lists and forums to the shire...this is going more slowly than I had hoped mainly due to big projects I've recently been involved in (not an excuse as this is what pays the bills). I've decided to allow a small number of folks to be on the developer committee (not really a committee except in the sense they will be to ones to commit monitors to the site). One of the forums created is a wish list forum for those who don't have the coding skills (or maybe the time) to let others know what they need...maybe someone has something in place or would be willing to write it. There is also a developers forum and mailing list...There is also a cheesy home page I did to let folks know it's coming... =G=

Some info columns not working
by matthew.epp＠us.army.mil 22 Aug '06

22 Aug '06

Some of my info pages aren't coming up. Just get Internal Server Error and Apache logs a "Premature end of script headers: bb-hostsvc.sh" when I try to access them. At first I thought maybe it was just the systems relayed through bbproxy, but I've found some tested locally from the main display server that also don't work, and there are relayed systems that DO have info. Checked all the hobbit logs and don't see any problems reported. Any troubleshooting tips?

[hobbit] Some info columns not working

By "relayed host" I meant any server which has its tests done by one of the satellite display servers and has the events relayed back to the primary display through bbproxy. The primary display had 0.0.0.0 for any server it didn't test directly, so I didn't have to worry about updating IP addresses in bb-hosts on more than one display. > I think the core problem is the 0.0.0.0 address. Hobbit then tries to do > a DNS lookup on the hostname to determine the current IP address of the > host. I haven't checked, but I would think that was the most likely > reason for the info page not showing up. Maybe you could add in code that states if the IP address is 0.0.0.0 to not attempt to resolve the hostname from the IP? Anyway I was able to fix the info problem by just using the real IPs on the primary display server.
