Summary: compilation problem solution for HP-UX!

Initial Comment:
Like many people here I had troubles compiling nagios plugins 
on HP-UX.
I wanted to solve it cleanly, so I took the last CVS version and 
tried to debug it.
I found several problems, that I could solve in the "configure.in" 
file.
There was a problem in the snprintf.c : I guess it's a bug in the 
original file from SAMBA, but I didn't dare touching it (there is a 
test on if not defined HAVE_C99_SNPRINTF that isn't defined 
anywhere). I added a test in configure.in  for HP-UX to define it, 
and the "#undef HAVE_C99_SNPRINTF"  in the acconfig.h

There was also problem in the order of test of functions that 
made them fail (probably because of snprintf). I solved that by 
changing test order.

I changed also the configuration to make swap_format work, but 
it's a little dirty because I didn't want to touch the C source, so I 
made used a shell command to have the good swapinfo format.

All seems ok now, and I tested the same configuration files on 
Linux, and it's working.

I join the diff file for this new configuration (files configure.in and 
acconfig.h)

There's clearly something wierd going on in the HPUX compilation. 
Unfortunately, I don't think anyone in the Nagios Plugin team has access to 
an HP server, so we will need to rely on someone coming up with a patch.

I'll keep this call open and hopefully someone can assist.

I am having the same problem.  
gcc 3.1 64 bit
gnu make 3.80
automake 1.7.4
I downloaded the plugins today (4/9/03) and ran configure,
then gmake all and got the following:

gmake[1]: Entering directory
`/root/nagios-plugins-1.3.0/plugins'
/usr/local/pa20_64/bin/gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -I.

gmake[1]: *** [check_disk.o] Error 1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/root/nagios-plugins-1.3.0/plugins'

I tried implimenting the changes that Alexandre suggested,
but I'm not much of a C programmer...

I think this patch is out of date as I think HP-UX builds are currently okay.

If there are no updates after 7 days, I'll close this call.

Alexandre,

Thanks for this patch. It looks very interesting, but I am having problems applying your fix to CVS. Can you send me a context or unified diff for the latest CVS version and I'll update it straight away for you to test.
