[collectd] compiling on solaris 9: 3.11.7 and 4.1.2

[samuel gipe]

Hi all,

Thought I would post my experience with compiling collectd on solaris 9 using gcc.  If anyone has had better experience, let me know please.

Compiling collectd-3.11.7 works on solaris 9, after disabling various modules (shown below). 
Compiling collectd-4.1.2 fails on solaris 9 with an strerror_r related error (shown below). 

4.1.2:
collectd wants strerror_r, a lib available for linux and solaris 10, but not for solaris 9 (that I know of).

Its seems like there are measures provided for in config.h to deal with the availability of strerror_r, but something doesn't seem to be working.  That said, I haven't really poked around enough:

/* Define to 1 if you have the declaration of `strerror_r', and to 0 if you
   don't. */
#define HAVE_DECL_STRERROR_R 0

/* Define to 1 if you have the `strerror_r' function. */
/* #undef HAVE_STRERROR_R */

/* Define to 1 if strerror_r returns char *. */
/* #undef STRERROR_R_CHAR_P */


The error from the make:
common.c: In function `sstrerror':
common.c:94: warning: implicit declaration of function `strerror_r'
*** Error code 1 


The corresponding "configure" command line (used for both 4.1.2 and 3.11.7):
env  CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc  LIBS="-lkstat -ldevinfo -lsocket"  CFLAGS="-D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199506L -D__EXTENSIONS__ -D_AVL_H -D_REENTRANT" ./configure --disable-mysql --disable-apcups --disable-csv --disable-email --disable-exec --disable-mbmon --disable-perl --disable-swap --disable-unixsock --prefix=/usr/local/collectd

note: For both 4.1.2 and 3.11.7, enabling the above modules causes make to fail (for at least some of the modules, possibly all...Not needing these modules, I didn't spend a lot of time troubleshooting).

I used CFLAGS from http://mailman.verplant.org/pipermail/collectd/2007-August/001095.html 

thanks!  collectd is a great tool!
