Category: misc Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: nosebleedkt (nosebleedkt) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: open-vm-tools cannot compile against Glibc >2.14 and TI-RPC Initial Comment: Hello everybody ! Well my system is a linux-2.6.35.14 / gcc 4.7.0 / Glibc 2.14.1 / TI-RPC 0.2.2 Inside source tree I type: open-vm-tools-8.6.0-425873/# ./configure --prefix=/usr --without-x --without-dnet --without-icu --without-gtk2 Everything OK. Then I type make. After a while I get multiple 'undefined reference to xdr...' This is normal as open-vm-tools think that RPC implementation is still in Glibc project. However, after Glibc >2.14 the RPC implementation has been removed and it is now in a another project called TI-RPC which resided on http://nfsv4.bullopensource.org/doc/tirpc_rpcbind.php . Me going one level further, I run ./configure LIBS="-ltirpc" --prefix=/usr --without-x --without-dnet --without-icu --without-gtk2 Now, open-vm-tools know where to find the xdr references so things get a lot better. But still, 'make' exits with just one error: lib/include/vmxrpc.h:190: undefined reference to xdr_uint32_t. So, I kindly ask the developers to make open-vm-tools compile against TI-RPC. Thanks :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: nosebleedkt (nosebleedkt) Date: 2012-05-04 06:58 Message: Well, I found a workaround until a proper update is done in the official sources. Comment out the 3 defines at the beggining of lib/include/vmxrpc.h . Then run configure with LIBS="-ltirpc" CFLAGS="-Wno-implicit-function-declaration" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: nosebleedkt (nosebleedkt) Date: 2012-05-03 05:11 Message: In addition, running #strings /lib/libtirpc.so | grep xdr_u_int32_t returns me xdr_u_int32_t . That's weird. And the complete error from 'make' is ../lib/guestRpc/.libs/libGuestRpc.a(nicinfo_xdr.o): In function `xdr_uint32': /root/open-vm-tools-8.6.0-425873/lib/include/vmxrpc.h:190: undefined reference to `xdr_uint32_t' /root/open-vm-tools-8.6.0-425873/lib/include/vmxrpc.h:190: undefined reference to `xdr_uint32_t' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [libvmtools.la] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/open-vm-tools-8.6.0-425873/libvmtools' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=989708&aid=3523224&group_id=204462 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
