Hello,
I'd like to share how I was able to compile a (seemingly) working rsyslogd
from source on AIX.
I had to manipulate some files and would be happy if REAL programmers
could make those permanently, if they are valid.
Installed the following RPMS (see perzl.org)
autoconf-2.69-2
automake-1.15.1-1
bash-4.4-5
bison-3.0.4-1
flex-2.5.37-1
gdbm-1.13-1
gettext-0.10.40-8
glib2-2.34.3-1
info-6.5-1
libffi-3.2.1-2
libgcc-4.9.4-1
libiconv-1.15-1
libsigsegv-2.12-1
libssh2-1.8.0-1
m4-1.4.18-1
openssl-1.0.2n-1
perl-5.8.8-2
pkg-config-0.29.1-1
zlib-1.2.4-2
zlib-devel-1.2.4-2
I think a few might be unnecessary, e.g. info-6.5-1.
I will try again with a fresh RPM-Database.
Created/manipulated 2 filesystem links (save the original files!!)
ln -sf /opt/freeware/bin/yacc /usr/bin/yacc
ln -sf /usr/bin/flex /usr/bin/lex
Now I had to manipulate the following files:
libestr was producing malloc errors so I added
export ac_cv_func_malloc_0_nonnull=yes
export ac_cv_func_realloc_0_nonnull=yes
Before the line "if test $ac_cv_func_malloc_0_nonnull = yes; then :"
rsyslogd needed a bit more work
configure complained about strippedsymbols.exp, libestr and liblogging
were not working and in general could use some more flags (for info, see
http://www.perzl.org/aix/index.php?n=Main.Instructions)
if test "$unamestr" = "AIX"; then
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/lib/pkgconfig"
LIBS="-lbsd -lsrc"
CPPFLAGS="-g -D_THREAD_SAFE -qmaxmem=16384 -DSYSV -D_AIX -D_AIX32
-D_AIX41 -D_AIX43 -D_AIX51 -D_AIX52 -D_AIX53 -D_AIX61 -D_AIX71
-D_ALL_SOURCE -DFUNCPROTO=15 -O -I/opt/freeware/include"
CFLAGS="-g -qmaxmem=16384 -DSYSV -D_AIX -D_AIX32 -D_AIX41 -D_AIX43
-D_AIX51 -D_AIX52 -D_AIX53 -D_AIX61 -D_AIX71 -D_ALL_SOURCE -DFUNCPROTO=15
-O -I/opt/freeware/include"
LDFLAGS="-qcpluscmt -brtl -bexpall -L/opt/freeware/lib64
-L/opt/freeware/lib
-Wl,-blibpath:/opt/freeware/lib64:/opt/freeware/lib:/usr/lib:/lib
-Wl,-bmaxdata:0x80000000" #-bE:strippedsymbols.exp "
# LIBESTR_LIBS="-L/usr/lib/ -lestr"
# LIBESTR_CFLAGS="-I/usr/include"
# LIBLOGGING_STDLOG_LIBS="-L/usr/lib/ -llogging-stdlog"
# LIBLOGGING_STDLOG_CFLAGS="-I/usr/include"
GNUTLS_LIBS="-L/usr/lib/ -lgnutls"
GNUTLS_CFLAGS="-I/usr/include"
RELP_LIBS="-L/usr/lib/ -lrelp"
RELP_CFLAGS="-I/usr/include"
CC="xlc_r"
export ac_cv_func_malloc_0_nonnull=yes
export ac_cv_func_realloc_0_nonnull=yes
fi
tools/rsyslog.c complained about an incorrect 'continue' so I added
precompile statements (entirely unsure what results this may produce)
#ifndef _AIX
else /* punt on short read */
continue;
#endif /* AIXPORT : src end */
runtime/Makefile lmnet_la and lmnsd_ptcp_la failed to load (0711-317
undefined symbol...), so I added $(RSRT_LIBS)
lmnet_la_LDFLAGS = -module -avoid-version
../compat/compat_la-getifaddrs.lo $(LIBLOGGING_STDLOG_LIBS) $(RSRT_LIBS)
lmnsd_ptcp_la_LDFLAGS = -module -avoid-version
$(LIBLOGGING_STDLOG_LIBS) $(RSRT_LIBS)
plugins/imuxsock/Makefile imuxsock_la failed to load (0711-317 undefined
symbol...), so I added $(RSRT_LIBS)
imuxsock_la_LDFLAGS = -module -avoid-version
$(LIBLOGGING_STDLOG_LIBS) $(RSRT_LIBS)
Hope someone is able to verify those changes and do them propper and
permanently :)
I used the following configure
./configure --prefix=/opt/freeware --disable-uuid --disable-libgcrypt
--disable-testbench --disable-testbench1 --disable-testbench2
--disable-man-pages --disable-fmhttp --disable-fmhash
--enable-omfile-hardened --enable-omstdout --enable-debug
Kind regards
Frank
