While checking things because of issue #520 & issue #521 , I remembered to check my patch for nagios 3.2.0 and saw, that I had also the problem with Nagios 3.2.0.

Fix (for icinga-core git) attached.

hmmm i wouldn't rename such things that way. i do understand that solaris is tricky and organizes things a bit different than the rest of the world, but changing *.o into a binary executable (intended) file might break everything else.

did you saw those tips using gcc and gmake?

I think the best thing would be a section the docs adding all known issues for Icinga on Solaris which cannot be resolved by simply patching things out.

I am not that familiar on how to detect sun solaris during configure, but we might set a conditiional flags and then adding those patches which are different to linux&co.

• File added icinga-core.helloworld_idomod-so.patch

Turns out, that .so works fine on Solaris. Patch attached, fixes also issue #526

hmm if we change that, it will be a major upgrade. this means removing the old idomod.o references on existing systems, or at least pointing the users within upgrade docs to that.

also, it must be replaced in icinga.cfg:event_broker=...

i'd like to postpone that for 1.0.3 in august, the solaris fixes can be pushed into a special release before that, if not done until monday.

would be running into a fixed 1.2 after release probably. dunno if there is time for core and modules.

FWIW, as mentioned in #521, this still fails in icinga 1.2.1:

But when I use icinga-core.helloworld_idomod-so.patch patch, I can compile it just fine.

i'd take the patch into contrib if you prefer that, but you'd still have to apply that manually. changing a well known / long grown name simple as it is will break many things.
such thing can only be introduced when writing a new bit of software.

i'll add that patch to contrib and then resolve this issue.

looks not finally solved when using Sunwspro 11 (cc)

Solution: add -KPIC flag when cc is used
BTW: use -m64 in CFLAGS and LDFLAGS instead of using -xarch for current cc versions

• Assigned to changed from mfriedrich to Tommi
• Target Version deleted 1.4

passing m64 happens to be a configure issue then, or how you'd export that for using cc. the provided patch only makes the .so possible instead of .o so i consider this being tested and resolved. if you're experiencing another issue like mentioned, feel free to update the git diff/patch yourself and re-add to contrib.
