[Nagiosplug-help] Compile problem with Nagios-Plugins 1.4.2 onAIX

[Jacob Laack]

I did that and I get:
gcc: `-b' must come at the start of the command line

Here are the differences between 1.4 and 1.4.2:

# pwd
/usr/local/nagios-plugins-1.4/plugins
# rm check_swap
# check_swap_LDFLAGS=-bloadmap make check_swap
gcc  -g -O2  -L. -o check_swap -bloadmap check_swap.o utils.o ../lib/libnagiosplug.a ../lib/libcoreutils.a popen.o ../intl/libintl.a -liconv
gcc: `-b' must come at the start of the command line
make: *** [check_swap] Error 1
# make check_swap
gcc  -g -O2  -L. -o check_swap  check_swap.o utils.o ../lib/libnagiosplug.a ../lib/libcoreutils.a popen.o ../intl/libintl.a -liconv
# ls check_swap
check_swap
# cd ../../nagios-plugins-1.4.2/plugins
# rm check_swap
rm: check_swap: A file or directory in the path name does not exist.
# check_swap_LDFLAGS=-bloadmap make check_swap
gcc  -g -O2  -L. -o check_swap -bloadmap check_swap.o  utils.o ../lib/libnagiosplug.a ../lib/libcoreutils.a popen.o ../intl/libintl.a -liconv
gcc: `-b' must come at the start of the command line
make: *** [check_swap] Error 1
# make check_swap
gcc  -g -O2  -L. -o check_swap  check_swap.o  utils.o ../lib/libnagiosplug.a ../lib/libcoreutils.a popen.o ../intl/libintl.a -liconv
ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .floor
ld: 0711-345 Use the -bloadmap or -bnoquiet option to obtain more information.
collect2: ld returned 8 exit status
make: *** [check_swap] Error 1

I'm guessing there's bug in check_swap.c or in the makefile for that plugin.

Hmm. Try editing the makefile and adding "-bnoquiet -bloadmap -lmath" to 
the LDFLAGS variable. It should be set in the plugins/ directory

"undefined symbol" means that the linker can't find it in the code or in 
one of the compiled libraries. floor() being a math function, it should 
be in libmath if anywhere.
