[collectd] Collectd 5.8.0 'make' error - kstat_t unknown type. [SEC=UNOFFICIAL]

[Craig Burtenshaw]

Hi exports,

I’m trying to install collectd-5.8.0 on a Solaris 11.3 (SRU: 11.3.35.6.0),
it fails to ‘make’.



*$ make*

*make  all-am*

*  CC       src/utils_cmds.lo*

*In file included from src/utils_cmds.c:30:0:*

*src/daemon/common.h:285:15: error: unknown type name âkstat_tâ; did you
mean âfloat_tâ?*

*int get_kstat(kstat_t **ksp_ptr, char *module, int instance, char *name);*

*               ^~~~~~~*

*               float_t*

*src/daemon/common.h:286:27: error: unknown type name âkstat_tâ; did you
mean âfloat_tâ?*

*long long get_kstat_value(kstat_t *ksp, char *name);*

*                           ^~~~~~~*

*                           float_t*

**** Error code 1*

*The following command caused the error:*

*echo "  CC      " src/utils_cmds.lo;depbase=`echo src/utils_cmds.lo | sed
's|[^/]*$|.deps/&|;s|\.lo$||'`;\*

Could you please provide assistance in fixing this error? I've installed
the prerequisites required in the README, upgraded Perl to 5.22, tried make
and gmake too.

Thank you in advance.

Cheers

Craig.
