lsof building

[Alfredo Raymundo]

I downloaded the lsof source, while using ./Configure i got the following error:

Looking for ipis_s with /usr/contrib/bin/q4 ...

!!!ERROR!!! /usr/contrib/bin/q4 failed and produced the following output.

q4: (warning) no modules in the crashdump or no INDEX file
q4: (error) vmunix not pxdb'd

!!!ERROR!!! !!!ERROR!!! !!!ERROR!!! !!!ERROR!!!
Configure can't use /usr/contrib/bin/q4 to examine the ipis_s
structure. You must do that yourself, report the result in
the HPUX_IPC_S_PATCH environment variable, then repeat the
Configure step. Consult the Configure script's use of
/usr/contrib/bin/q4 and the 00XCONFIG file for information
on ipis_s testing and the setting of HPUX_IPC_S_PATCH.
!!!ERROR!!! !!!ERROR!!! !!!ERROR!!! !!!ERROR!!!

You have two choices:

1) Download and install q4; it's a good tool to have.

2) Modify the makefile to not look at the q4 stuff.

Hi Alfredo,

We already had a discussion on building lsof. Check the following thread for details.

I did post a solution. But one that was posted by Ramesh looked better.

Q4 requires q4pxdb to be run before it can be used. Its not recommended to do this on the running kernel, however, so copy it to /tmp first. Try this:

1. cp /stand/vmunix /tmp
2. q4pxdb /tmp/vmunix
3. Edit the Configure script, find the line where q4 is called and change /stand/vmunix to /tmp/vmunix.

Then try running Configure again.

Steve
