help compiling collectd in itanium HP-UX 11.31

[jrd87]

Hi,

I am trying to compile collectd 5.7.2 on an itaniuam server with HP-UX 11.31 operating system.

This is the error that shows me when I run the command make:

....

....

this is the content of the file ../../src/daemon/collectd.h at line 195:

That happening if I just run ./configure and make

if i run  ./configure --with-nan-emulation CC="cc -Ae", i obtain  the following error:

Has anyone faced this problem?

Thanks in advance.

The byte order is of course big endian.

I don't see any -W there.  Also, why aren't there more options and files on that CC line?

Also, don't you need to replace CC by aCC?

Hi Dennis

I have changed the configure command like this:

      ./configure --with-nan-emulation CC="aCC -Ae"

I get this error again:

Oops, you should change that back to: CC="cc -Ae".

>CC       libcollectdclient_la-client.lo
>aCC: error 1914: bad form for `-W' option    <------- error

I don't see any -W options on that command line.

Are there any makefile lines starting with "@"?  That will suppress the make command line echoing.

And that's probably hiding the compile line with -W.

You could "export CCOPTS=-v" to see if that provides more info.  Or at least point to the last valid compiler invocation.
