Cactid 0.8.6j - Release

TheWitness · Posted: Fri Oct 19, 2007 6:48 am Post subject: Cactid 0.8.6j - Release

All,

I am posting here as we will be pushing out the 0.8.7 next week as well. I will insure that it is in the downloads location within the next week and possibly get the various RPM's constructed by other members of the team.

Keep in mind, that since I do all my development in Windows, you may have to change permissions on some things, even perform a dos2unix on some of the files. My apologies for such things... All ridicule happily accepted with regard to that subject.

Regards,

TheWitness

Larry,

The configure gives a warning and make fails on FreeBSD 6.2:

I zipped up the failed make (all files) and attached them to this post.
Any thoughts?

New build instructions:

Hi,
N3NCY try gmake instead of BSD make:)
Works for me. I have just compiled cactid 0.8.6j.

Worked fine for me out of the box with FreeBSD 6.2. ./configure && gmake

Even seems to have shaved a couple of seconds off my poll time.

Thanks!

N3NCY · Posted: Sun Oct 21, 2007 5:32 pm Post subject:

This still fails:
aclocal
libtoolize --force
autoheader
autoconf
automake
./configure
make

This works!
./configure
gmake

I did dos2unix in both cases.

I guess going forward I will use gmake!

I wonder why make no longer does the trick?
Oh well, gmake it is!

Hi Larry

I've upgraded from beta 2 to final release on my server #2, and it seems cactid.conf is not found in /path/to/cactid/etc

This was working with beta 2.

like recents builds, this version don't work with external perl scripts (known problem)
the perl processus is not even launched

cmd.php work

i'm dissapointed
i need perl external script (it works with batch and php scripts)

is spine based on the same code as cactid ?

i'm using windows

cactid 0.8.6 g work good but it as 1 year now

since version h, i have problems
it is since this version sh.exe have been introduced

TheWitness · Posted: Mon Oct 22, 2007 1:46 pm Post subject:

Gilles,

With 0.8.6j, I provide a build option like this:

./configure --with-nifty

If you specify this, it will revert to the 0.8.6h behavior (not requiring sh.exe). Pretty sure it's "--with-nifty". You can run the following to confirm:

./configure --help

Spine has the same option...

N3NCY · Posted: Mon Oct 22, 2007 1:48 pm Post subject:

From inside Cacti's web interface where it calls scripts, you need to put in the full path to Perl.

Not:
perl myscript.pl

Use:
/path/to/your/perl /path/to/myscript.pl

Also, for good measure, I always look inside any pl and php files and make sure the #! line has the corect path to perl or php as desired.

FYI:
Using full paths in /etc/crontab usually fixes other weird issues as well.

when i read the forum, compiling is so complicate...
understand i don't have time for this (and no clearly instructions for me)
why compiling my own binary will work ?
there are binaries compiling from users (mcutting) which don't work too

i have tried to work with the #! line and the Cacti's web interface
i'm on windows
i have tried / and \, simple and double
i have tried to use only the path to the script and not using perl.exe in the command line (like php scripts for example)
g version always work so it's not the problem
i don't know why g version work and the others not
