[xymon] 4.3.0 beta3 compile problem on solaris 10 sparc

Hi,

That seems like a dirty fix, I relinked /usr/ccs/bin/ld which is as dirty. Wouldn't the proper solution be that if it could find the Gnu ld it will use it? In my case it is in the path but /usr/ccs/bin is not. Still /usr/ccs/bin/ld is found first and used. I tried setting LD= but it doesn't help. As in that statement: -bash-3.00$ ld -V 2>&1|head -1|cut -d' ' -f1 GNU -bash-3.00$ ld -V GNU ld version 2.15 Supported emulations: elf32_sparc elf64_sparc So Makefile.SunOS finds the Gnu linker, but later it is using /usr/ccs/bin/ld. Where? and Why?

Another problem: I'm trying to compile the client on Solaris 9 SPARC and get this error. gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wno-unused -D_REENTRANT -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DSunOS -I. -I/var/tmp/xymon-4.3.0.beta3/include -DCLIENTONLY=1 -I. -I../include -c -o misc.o misc.c In file included from /var/tmp/xymon-4.3.0.beta3/include/libxymon.h:56, from misc.c:34: /var/tmp/xymon-4.3.0.beta3/include/../lib/eventlog.h:38: error: syntax error before numeric constant make[1]: *** [misc.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/xymon-4.3.0.beta3/lib' make: *** [lib-client] Error 2

Next up is Solaris 10 x86, well see if that works.

I just now noticed that the problem probably isn't with C-ARES, but with the "--rpath" options that Xymon uses for the linker command.

If you look at the build/Makefile.SunOS file, you'll find the linker setup there. Xymon tries to figure out if you are using the GNU ld program:

LDTYPE := $(shell ld -V 2>&1|head -1|cut -d' ' -f1)
ifeq ($(LDTYPE),GNU)
   RPATH=-Wl,--rpath,
else
   RPATH=-Wl,-R
endif

Try deleting those lines, and see if it helps.
