anyone else build/install on ubuntu 11.10?

[eleith]

i'm trying to build zimbra for ubuntu 11.10, but i have some questions

1) do i need to build third party sources (./buildZCS.sh -t)?

2) when trying to build third party sources, it looks for some of my shared libraries (eg: zlib.so) in /usr/bin but many of my libraries are in /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu. how can i get the build to look in that directory (without symlinking every shared library)

3) i've got oracle's java installed in the ThirdPartyBuild folder. however, can i run openJDK for the java on my machine, and just use oracle java for building zimbra?

4) i've added a file defs/UBUNTU11_64.def and modified devs/plat_commons.def to get it to recognize ubuntu 11.10, so i don't end up with files named UBUNTUUNKOWN_64... are there other files i'm missing?

any points would be helpful, i really just want to run zimbra 7.1.4, i don't want to modify it, but since the released binaries can't install on ubuntu 11.10, i'm building it, hoping to get it working myself (since i don't want to downgrade my OS)

thanks!

i've gotten a little farther. here is my progress

1) yes, you do need to build third party libraries.

2) i just ended up creating symlinks for the libraries that were showing up in the other directories (zlib, expat and a few others)

3) still haven't figured out if i can use openJDK or not...

4) this seems like the right thing to do, but not sure if there are other files i need to edit. i don't think so as of right now.

i also had to install gcc/g++ 4.4 and use that instead of the latest. there were many build errors that seemed related to gcc versions.

i currently am stumped on getting nginx to build. ngx_http_upstream_zmauth_module.c will not build for reasons i can't understand.

a message about warnings being declared as errors show up, and then a ton of errors are listed (many seem like warnings too). i'm not sure if this is related to gcc still being a version too far ahead than the build expects me to use or not.

i'll keep playing with it...

i ended punting on this and going back to 10.04 LTS.

i started getting things to compile but then the zimbra patch in nginx just wouldn't compile. either i was still using a too recent version of gcc or i was missing some library, but the errors didn't seem to suggest that.

once i couldn't compile nginx, i punted.

the binary builds provided by zimbra really are nice, but it would have been nice to have been successfully able to use the source to get it up and running.

for now, i have to rely on zimbra staying alive and well for many more years to come. it is a great product after all.

Confirmed. I have the same issue. Nginx is failed to compile with:
