CVS Build Troubles

[dijichi2]

Hmm. Seems debian's version of ant (well, debians version of anything to do with java) is terminally broken. downloaded vanilla version 1.6.5 from apache and all hunky dory there.

next problem: snmp

the build_cvs_howto.txt merely says:

mkdir ../snmp
get snmp-5.1.2.tar.gz

i presume this is net-snmp-5.1.2.tar.gz which i got and renamed, but the (zimbra) make process then fails later on building ldap package complaining about missing snmp-5.1.2.tar.gz and associated subdirs. is there a missing build procedure for this?

also current cvs make process refers to postfix-2.2.5 but Thirdparty still only has 2.2.3 - a symlink fixes this.

Yeah, that should have read something like this:

get net-snmp-5.1.2
cd net-snmp...
./configure --prefix=/opt/zimbra/snmp-5.1.2
make
make install
cd /opt/zimbra
tar czf snmp-5.1.2.tar.gz snmp-5.1.2
mv snmp-5.1.2.tar.gz CVSROOT/ThirdParty/snmp

I've updated the doc - thanks for the catch

[dijichi2]

do we just hit enter for all the ./configure questions? this will set the state dir to /var/net-snmp and log to /var/log for instance, is this intended? default mibs? full server build?

[dijichi2]

(cd /opt/zimbra/zimbra-cvs/ZimbraBuild/i386; ln -s zcs-3.0.0_M3_239.DEBIAN3.1.tgz zcs.tgz)
*** BUILD COMPLETED ***


oh joy and tranquility!!!

im looking forward to testing now )

thanks chaps for the fast assistance

[marcmac]

That's how I built it, IIRC. The only thing we use it for is the snmptrap binary, to send out traps.

[dijichi2]

hi
running ./install.sh in zcs/ and the associated setup script doesnt work for me on debian. logs attached.

i think two main problems are lack of openldap symlink in /opt/zimbra and blank /etc/sudoers

[marcmac]

The log didn't attach.

[dijichi2]

erm, i can see and download them!

Seem to me the problem starts earlier... FYI install happens first so until you get past that cleanly setup is bound to fail.

chkconfig not found and Java is not in it's right place.

[dijichi2]

hmm, good point.

chkconfig is a redhat-ism, it doesnt exist on most other platforms so this is not a good thing to use in a portable source build.

the prebuild instructions for java are wrong in build_cvs_howto.txt. they currently read:

mkdir Thirdparty/java
grab jdk-1_5_0_05-linux-i586.bin and install somewhere.
tar czf Thirdparty/java/jdk1.5.0_05.tgz

but this builds the tarballs wrong. even the install dir is unpredictable depending on the install method (in debian for instance, its /usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun), so not reliable to change to the parent directory of the install dir before tarring. how about something like this:

mkdir Thirdparty/java
cd Thirdparty/java
cp -R ./jdk1.5.0_05
tar czf Thirdparty/java/jdk1.5.0_05.tgz jdk1.5.0_05
