That should be

#undef HAVE_SETENV

and NOT

#define HAVE_SETENV

I also forgot - you have to run

make clean

before you run make (because it's already compiled wrong).

only bark from the configure.client step.

config.h does get set to #define HAVE_SETENV 1

make change to config.h set #define HAVE_SETENV and run make again. Same error.

I see an #ifdef HAVE_SETENV in the code that calls setenv(); if that's not defined, it should work around the absence by using malloc() and putenv(); I think putenv() exists on Solaris 8 (malloc() definitely does).

The scripts (specifically, build/genconfig.sh) run to configure it should have detected that, but if not, look at include/config.h; there should be one of two lines in there: either #define HAVE_SETENV 1 or #undef HAVE_SETENV

If it has the 1st, change it to the 2nd and run the make again; if it already has the 2nd or doesn't have either one, then I don't have any idea.

The test that build/genconfig.sh uses looks a mite fishy to me, because I think it's only compiling but not linking, and it's the linking that would actually fail if setenv() wasn't available. So if it's not detecting the absence of setenv() and configuring the workaround, that might be why.

One might be able to back-port an actual setenv() to Solaris 8 and link with that, but I haven't compared such Solaris 8 and post-10 library source as I have to figure out whether that would probably be safe and effective, so I wouldn't go there unless I had a lot of time to kill.

Hopefully some of you old-timers can remember better than I. I have a solaris 5.8 that I am trying to compile a xymon client for. I have tried the current and 2 older versions. I get the same error. I did go back and check my notes and the issue I saw 10 years ago is commented in the sunOs client build file. So I am sure something in my environment is wrong. Can I get a few eyes on this output from the make step and see if you can get me in the right direction? In all compiling a client should not need anything other than the configure client and make. Or if someone has a compiled client for sparc on solaris 5.8? J

Thanks xymoners.
