Unix static agent build fails

[xatteg]

Hello Victor,

I'm configuring netxms on CentOS 6.2 with following ./configure --with-agent-static. Configure script executes normally. But make produces error:

../../../tools/create_ssa_list.sh "linux ecs logwatch ping portcheck ups" > static_subagents.cpp

Can that be fixed?

There was the same error for 1.2.0 version according to forum. It persists in 1.2.1.

Hi!
I finally managed to build a static 1.2.1 agent, I did something like this:

$ ./configure --with-static-agent --with-all-static --with-static-subagents="" --with-internal-libexpat --with-internal-libtre --with-internal-zlib --prefix=/some/targetdir
$ make

Will complain, No target to build libnxdb exactly as you describe.
Build this by hand:

$ cd src/db/libnxdb/
$ make

Then try a build from source root again.
I then run into trouble when making nxpush, but that may be distribution specific (old debian).
Anyway, I disabled nxpush (don't need it)

$ <your favorite editor> src/agent/tools/Makefile

change
SUBDIRS = nxapush

to
SUBDIRS =

Then a make from source root dir should work.

Good luck!

KjellO, this also worked for me!
The trick is that all subsequent "makes" are successful, even if I make global "make clean" before configuring with different parameters.
Thanks a lot!
