[Nagiosplug-devel] aix 5.2 compilation of nagios-plugin fails

[Trevor Warren]

Hiyee there,

  Your post is as below, i have demarcated the same with ####.  But
what you have faced  is significantly different from the issue i have
encountered while trying to compile the Nagios plugins on AIX 5.2

  The issue i have encountered on all my AIX 5.2 32/64 bit boxes are ...
"        gcc  -g -O2 -maix32   -L. -o check_disk  check_disk.o utils.o
 ../lib/libnagiosplug.a popen.o ../intl/libintl.a -liconv
 ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: ..libintl_bindtextdomain
 ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: ..libintl_textdomain
 ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: ..libintl_gettext
 ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .VA_COPY
 ld: 0711-345 Use the -bloadmap or -bnoquiet option to obtain more
 information.
 collect2: ld returned 8 exit status
 make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 1."

 Sorry to post a reply to my own email, but I"ve finally got it working.
 Turns out we weren"t using lib/Makefile.am quite how I was expecting it to
 be used.
 
 All standard plugins now compile on AIX (5.1) in CVS.
