Trouble compiling official plugins on macOS

I seem to be having trouble compiling the official Nagios plugins on a Mac Mini. The device in question is running macOS Sierra, and I've installed all of the requisite GNU software as specified in the instructions on Github.

However, when I go to "make" the software, it complains of there being "too many errors" and exits. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

What instructions are you using? Our KB suggests using the plugins offered by https://www.macports.org/install.php (https://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=n ... str=nagios)

The error is likely due to no openssl, so if you don't want to use macports, you'll need to install openssl. The macports version will install openssl as a dependency, and I must say I am impressed with how well they keep up.

We have a bug report about the openssl issue in NRPE, so our plugins will likely be fixed when NRPE is fixed. Unfortunately, I can't give you a time frame on that right now.

Please let us know if you run into any issues or have any additional questions.
