-Coders,
here's a status report of my latest efforts to perform automated build
tests for 5.3.x on both the SF.net Compile Farm and another
("anonymously" sponsored) build farm, covering a variety of
configurations and platforms (see below). A bunch of minor build fixes
gained from these tests already went into CVS. Here are 5.3.1.pre2's
remaining build problems:
1) embedded Perl: insufficient configure checks for:
- minimum perl version (e.g. IRIX 6.5 ships with Perl 5.00405,
currently yields into a compiler error)
- usable libperl.so (otherwise "#error embedded perl broken"
compile-time error, e.g. on RH7.1 and RHEL2.1)
- perl's CCFLAGS and net-snmp's CC/CFLAGS work together (especially a
problem if gcc vs. vendor C compiler, also see 2))
2) Solaris: embedded perl and the ucd_snmp+host mib modules don't build
together (because of largefile options; see bug 1486366)
3) nlist runtime errors on 64-bit kernels (IRIX64, AIX 5.x, Tru64; e.g.
causes test #57 failure)
4) AIX: known build issues with shared libs (=> no embedded perl) and
grep (see recently enhanced README.aix)
5) IRIX 6.5: compiler error with gcc (4.0.2) in mibII/at.c
6) Tru64 4.0D doesn't compile although we list it in the FAQ
7) Solaris 8/9 "make install DESTDIR=/some/where" w/ OS-supplied Perl
5.00503/5.6.1 still writes some perl stuff to system directories
8) RHEL/x86_64 3, 4: test #36 fails (after SIGHUP)
9) HP-UX 10.20: apps/snmpnetstat linker error (unsatisfied symbols
ntohl, ntohs)
10) NetBSD 2.0.2 and OpenBSD 3.8 on x86: test #57 failure
The following platforms have been tested:
SF.net Compile Farm:
- Debian 3.0/alpha
- FC3/x86
- SLES9/ppc64
- Solaris 9/SPARC+x86
- NetBSD/x86 2.0.2
- OpenBSD/x86 3.8
Third-party Build farm:
- RH Linux/x86 7.1, 9
- RHEL/x86 2.1, 3, 4
- RHEL/x86_64 3, 4
- Solaris/SPARC 2.6, 7, 8, 9, 10
- HP-UX/PA-RISC 10.20, 11.00, 11.11, 11.23
- HP-UX/IA64 11.23
- AIX 4.3.3, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3
- IRIX 6.5
- Tru64 Unix 4.0D, 5.1
Given the huge list of tested platforms, the above list of remaining
build problems isn't all that bad, I think.
What build problems can we fix before 5.3.1 final?
Feedback appreciated.
+Thomas
