Thanks, but I still can't compile the server version.

I guess I'll just continue using my current Hobbit Version and wait and see if a stable release of xymon comes out that will compile on Solaris 9.

I'm not really a code developer, but I would recommend that someone who's developing the next release of Hobbit/xymon get Solaris 9, download the freeware packages, and insure the compile works without having to edit other library files (ie... having to edit /usr/include/sys/signal.h.), and without all the numerous errors.

fyi... I've downloaded a compiled a multitude of other products and normally it goes fairly smooth. The last time I compiled Hobbit on Solaris (Version 4.2), it was a fairly smooth process. I just had to make sure that I had all the Libraries, for example, ldap or rrd, but this version seems to have several compile problems.

If xymon is going to continue being a useful open source platform for monitoring, it needs to run on other Operating Systems and for our organization Solaris is a key system.

If the development team doesn't have access to Solaris 9, I am more than happy to re-try compiles and feed the outputs and failures of the compile to the team. Let me know if this is an option.

Thanks again...James

The CSW packages are the same ones from Solaris Freeware, just in a common directory we use here.

I would not know where that variable would be in other files. Is there a code fix for this on Solaris platforms?

Thanks...James

Try commenting the definition of "S_NONE" in /usr/include/sys/signal.h and recompile. You may get an other error while compiling setup-newfiles.c; see > > http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2009/05/msg00028.html for a fix. Tired it, but I get the same error.

This solution worked for us when compiling on a Solaris 9 box with only a few Solaris freeware packages installed. (we do not use CSW packages). The problem is Xymon tries to define S_NONE as an enum in enventlog.h, but this constant is already defined in /usr/include/sys/signal.h. Maybe S_NONE is defined somewhere else in your environement?

Looking again at your all log, there are other weird error messages (ld not found) and configure settings.

We have: Solaris 9 4/04 (fully recommended/security patched) GNU Make 3.80 gcc version 3.3.2

After commenting out "S_NONE" define in /usr/include/sys/signal.h, here below the steps we used for building a client.
