Hi Elmar,
I tried to compile the xymon client on Mac OS X 10.6 and ran into the same problem that was reported about a year ago[1].
You may already know it but Xymon is available for Mac OS X through the macports project: http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=name&substr=xymon https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/SetupXymonServer
It simplifies the compilation/install process.
Unfortunately, the default behaviour for the Mac HFS+ file system is to ignore case so the two files get mixed up. The solution to this is fairly simple. Just drop the -I. from the CFLAGS options. Having -I. should not be necessary anyway because the preprocessor differentiates between #include <file.h> and #include "file.h" precisely to separate system includes from project includes. Indeed, I hit this problem and used the following patch: http://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/net/xymon/files/patch-build-Ma...
Once this problem is solved, there are two more problems that will arise. The first one would be the same on all platforms whenever xymon is built without SSL support (not needed on the client). In lib/sendmsg.c TALK_SSLWRITE_RECEIVE will be referenced even though the enum only goes up to TALK_RECEIVE when HAVE_OPENSSL is not defined.
The second problem ist with the zlib where the dynamic library for Mac OS X is in /usr/lib/libz.dylib which does not get search.
I didn't encounter those 2 problems. Strange.
The attached patch fixes all three problems and the Mac OS X client builds successfully.
I guess Henrik will have a look at them.
By the way, this patch should be useful for you: http://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/net/xymon/files/patch-client-x... It fixes the problem of CPU usage reported by Mac OS X xymon clients.
Hope this helps.
Sure it does. While you're here, could you please help me with a problem I couldn't solve so far: on a Mac OS X Xymon server I have the showgraph.cgi eating up all the CPU when I access xymon webpages containing graphs. -> http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=26609049
Are you running a xymon server on Mac OS X ? If yes, do you have the same problem with graph generation ?
