How-to build/make/install
{disclaimer}...I've been using FreeBSD for about a year, so while I
consider myself still a n00b, I'm just not a complete n00b :) OS:
6.1-RELEASE
I really need some help building a package for install (if that's the
correct terminology).
hobbitmon is the next re-named version of big brother
http://hobbitmon.sourceforge.net/
I have downloaded the tar.gz file into /usr/local/etc
I extracted the tar using:
don-bsd# tar xvfz file.tar.gz
then I cd in to the directory
don-bsd# cd /usr/local/etc/hobbit-4.2.0
The directory listing is as follows:
don-bsd# pwd
/usr/local/etc/hobbit-4.2.0
don-bsd# ls -la

The README says to simply
don-bsd# ./configure
don-bsd# make
don-bsd# make install
However, when I type ./configure from /usr/local/etc/hobbit-4.2.0
don-bsd# ./configure
Configuration script for Hobbit
This script asks a few questions and builds a Makefile to compile Hobbit
Checking your make-utility
GNU make is required to build Hobbit.
If it is available as gmake, run configure as: 'MAKE=gmake
./configure.server'

Help please, Thanks

Have you had a look in the ports tree to see if you can find Hobbit there?
Otherwise, gmake is available from ports/devel/gmake, just do cd
ports/devel/gmake and make install clean and then you've got it.
Then you do MAKE=gmake ./configure-server or whatever in the source
catalog for hobbit.
The thing that might be weird is that FreeBSD installs ports in
/usr/local/[bin,sbin] by default, you'll proably end up with hobbit in
/usr/[bin,sbin] if you don't install it from ports. See if you can
find a configure parameter to set the install directory to where you
want to install hobbit.

Re: How-to build / make / install
Thanks, here's the latest attempts I've made...
Have you had a look in the ports tree to see if you can find Hobbit there?
Yes, no port is available.
Otherwise, gmake is available from ports/devel/gmake, just do cd
ports/devel/gmake and make install clean and then you've got it.
added gmake before hand. # make, then # make install clean
gcc and g++ are also installed.
Then you do MAKE=gmake ./configure-server or whatever in the source
catalog for hobbit.
Not sure what the source catalog is??
from /hobbit-4.2.0 folder
don-bsd# ./configure

I can see that this message is from the file configure.server. Snip
of code below.
{snip from configure.server file}
echo Checking your make-utility
MAKEVER=`$MAKE -version 21 | head -n 1 | awk '{print $1 $2}'`
if test $MAKEVER != GNU Make
then
echo GNU make is required to build Hobbit.
echo If it is available as \gmake\, run configure as: 'MAKE=gmake
$0'
exit 1
fi
echo Checking pre-requisites for building Hobbit
echo
. build/fping.sh
echo ; echo
. build/rrd.sh
echo ; echo
. build/pcre.sh
echo ; echo
{...end-snip}
But seems to bail right after the echo If it is available as \gmake\...
Thanks
