Hi all,
I'm trying to build and install (and finally package) Xymon 4.3.7 on Solaris 10 with Sunstudio 12. The actual build runs through, but when it comes to "gmake install" I run into the following error:
gmake[1]: Entering directory /home/ja/opencsw/xymon/trunk/work/build-isa-sparcv8plus/xymon-4.3.7/xymonnet' cc -g -O -D_REENTRANT -Dgeneric -I. -Ipwd/include -I/opt/csw/include -o xymonnet xymonnet.o contest.o httptest.o httpresult.o ldaptest.o dns.o dns2.o httpcookies.o ../lib/libxymon.a libcares.a ld: fatal: symbol main' is multiply-defined:

ld: fatal: symbol `__fsr_init_value' is multiply-defined:
(file xymonnet.o type=NOTY; file contest.o type=NOTY);
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to xymonnet
gmake[1]: *** [xymonnet] Error 1
As far as I understood (I'm not really an programming expert), both xymonnet.o and contest.o has a main function compiled in. I was wondering, why an object file should have a main function. I took a look into the code and found an "#ifdef STANDALONE" directive in contest.c, enclosing the main function.
As the Makefile makes a difference between the targets 'contest' and contest.o' by calling the compiler with '-DSTANDALONE' for 'contest', everything should be fine and 'contest.o' shouldn't have a main function, but nevertheless I get the error above.
Does someone have a solution or an idea?
