Troubleshoot about compiling

Hello everyone.
Many years ago, on BeOS, I built Gnu/Anubis (http://www.gnu.org/software/anubis/) with successful.
On Haiku i get many errors at the make command.
First of all in terminal i do:

cp /boot/common/share/libtool/config/config.*

and then:

configure --build='i586-pc-haiku'

All went ok.

But at the end of “make” i get these errors:

In file included from /boot/develop/anubis-4.1/src/anubisdb.c:21:
/boot/develop/anubis-4.1/src/headers.h:88: sys/fcntl.h: No such file or directory
make[3]: *** [anubisdb.o] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/boot/develop/anubis-4.1/src'
make[2]: *** [all] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/boot/develop/anubis-4.1/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/boot/develop/anubis-4.1'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Any suggestion? I need some developer tools?

From Tracker (upper right corner) select File Search. Type in fcntl.h. If it is not found, that is trouble. You might just need to remove the sys from the include. E.G.
#include sys/fcntl.h becomes
#include fcntl.h

Keep us updated on progress.

The sys/fcntl.h is not a POSIX one. We do have fcntl.h header and all sys/*.h specified by OpenGroup, but not the Linux ones.
Just skip it on Haiku:

src/headers.h:92:
#ifdef HAVE_SYS_FCNTL_H
#include <sys/fcntl.h>
#endif /* HAVE_SYS_FCNTL_H */

And all will compile fine.
The testsuite compile failed, though.
So, I guess this software must be ported and patched, indeed.

Here what I’ve done quickly to build it (except testsuite) with gcc4:

cd anubis-4.1.1
$ cp /boot/common/share/libtool/config/config.* build/.
$ libtoolize --force --copy --install
...
$ configure --prefix=/boot/common
...
$ make
...

As stated, it failed in testsuite, but the anubis lib and binary build:

  -f, --foreground            Foreground mode
  --from=EMAIL                Specify sender address (implies MDA mode)
  -i, --stdio                 Use the SMTP protocol (OMP/Tunnel) as described

  -c, --check-config=DEBUG-LEVEL
                              Run the configuration file syntax checker
  --show-config-options       Print a list of configuration options used to
                              build GNU Anubis
  --relax-perm-check          Do not check user configuration file permissions
  --pid-file=FILE             Store the PID of the running daemon in FILE

  Other options

Hi,
I’ve tried again with your suggestions but i get another kind of error:

/boot/develop/anubis-4.1.1/src/xdatabase.c: In function `xexamine':

Maybe I’m not good with compiling! :slight_smile:

phoudoin, can you put online your anubis build? I need anubis for some things in the administration of my lan.

Thank you very much.
