I must say I am disappointed in the path this app has taken. My disappointment stems from the amount of work required to install rrdtool.
If we examine 1.0.49, we see that all dependent software is included (like libcgi etc...) but the newer version are not this way. After a short struggle to install darwinports just to install libcg and libart, I found that most of my apps that use librrd fail to compile because of changes in rrd_graph function API and other functions. As well, I've noticed that the contrib directory is gone and that support for a php module has vanished making it even harder to upgrade. After fixing the php extension to use the new rrd_graph API I found that rrd_graph isn't recognized as a valid library function. Going further I wrote a test suite which tests for the rrd_graph function in the library and it fails to find it in 1.2.6 but has no problems with the 1.0.49 library. All libraries that were tested were static (librrd.a) type libraries. Being annoyed at the way things were, I set out to fix the problems. I started by repackaging the source to include libcgi-0.5 and libart-2.0 like it did in 1.0.49, this worked out very well as all is installed without having to obtain additional packages that may or may not have been ported. While I can use rrdtool from the cli and from perl scripts, there is still a problem with librrd and the recognition of rrd_graph library functions so building with this library still doesn't work. Any chance that you guys are going to correct these problems/issues in a release version? -- Dale -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Help mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/rrd-developers WebAdmin http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/lsg2.cgi
