[Nagios-devel] Fix: Nagios + OpenBSD 3.4 not recognizing GD libraries

Post by Guest »

Hey folks,

I've been beating my head against this for a little while as I try to
find time to work on an OpenBSD port for Nagios... Nagios, when built on
an OpenBSD 3.4 (possibly 3.3 as well) machine, will not find GD even when
--with-gd-lib and --with-gd-inc are specified on the configure command
line.

This is due to the need to have the following specified when running
the configure script:

LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -lttf"

So, on an OpenBSD machine with png, jpeg, gd, and ttf installed from
the OpenBSD ports tree, the following works fine:

env LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -lttf" ./configure

Using this, you do not need to specify --with-gd-lib and --with-gd-inc.
HUGE kudoes go to Julien Touche, who figured out these details.

I'm assuming configure.in needs to be modified, but I suck too much as
a developer to figure it out. :) Hopefully, it'll help someone in the
future.

Benny
