Hi,

I compiled the client on AIX years ago and use that binary since then. These are the notes I wrote down. I think you have to switch from IBM compiler to gcc in file build/Makefile.AIX:

Compile flags for normal build with gcc

%CC = gcc CFLAGS = -O -D_REENTRANT $(OSDEF)%ENDCOLOR%

Compile flags for normal build with IBM compiler

#CC = cc #CFLAGS = -g -O3 -qstrict -qcpluscmt -D_REENTRANT $(LFSDEF) $(OSDEF)

Hello,

?I'm trying to compile Xymon client on AIX 7.1. I installed a couple of RPM files such as : ????make_64-4.1-1.aix5.3.ppc.rpm ????pcre-7.4-2.aix5.1.ppc.rpm ????pcre-devel-7.4-2.aix5.1.ppc.rpm ????gcc-8.3.0-2.aix7.1.ppc.rpm ????gcc-cpp-8.3.0-2.aix7.1.ppc.rpm ????libgcc-8.3.0-2.aix7.1.ppc.rpm ????libstdc++7-7.2.0-1.aix7.1.ppc.rpm

?I unpacked the xymon in /tmp/xymon-4.3.30

?and I try to compile and here is the error :

/tmp/xymon-4.3.30 > gmake CC="cc" CFLAGS="-g -O3 -D_REENTRANT? -DAIX -Ipwd/include -DCLIENTONLY=1" LDFLAGS="" OSDEF="-DAIX" RPATHOPT="" PCREINCDIR="" ZLIBINCDIR="" SSLFLAGS="" SSLINCDIR="" SSLLIBS="" NETLIBS="" LIBRTDEF="" XYMONTOPDIR="/opt/xymon-monitor" XYMONHOME="/opt/xymon-monitor" XYMONCLIENTHOME=/opt/xymon-monitor XYMONLOGDIR="" XYMONHOSTNAME="" XYMONHOSTIP="10.10.7.25" XYMONHOSTOS="" LOCALCLIENT="no" gmake -C lib client gmake[1]: Entering directory '/tmp/xymon-4.3.30/lib' cc -g -O3 -D_REENTRANT? -DAIX -I/tmp/xymon-4.3.30/include -DCLIENTONLY=1 -I../include? -o test-endianness test-endianness.c cc: error trying to exec 'cc1': execvp: No such file or directory Makefile:35: recipe for target 'test-endianness' failed gmake[1]: *** [test-endianness] Error 1 gmake[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/xymon-4.3.30/lib' build/Makefile.rules:90: recipe for target 'lib-client' failed gmake: *** [lib-client] Error 2

?Can you help to fix the compilation error or maybe can you share a static AIX client compiled?

?Thanks !
