Compile issue on RHEL5

[fumok]

Hi,

I'm trying to compile under RHEL5, but the automake version is very old (1.9 vs 2.68). Can you help me?

Thanks.

Hi,

i have tested it on RHEL5/6:

yum update
yum install autoconf automake gettext gettext-devel libtool m4

NOTE:

gettext-devel is required for autopoint

gettext v. 0.18.1.1
automake v. 1.13.4
autoconf v. 2.69
libtool v. 2.4.2
m4 v. 1.4.16
gcc v. 4.8.3

Attached logs files for autogen, configure, make

MAC-Telnet_autogen.txt

MAC-Telnet_configure.txt

MAC-Telnet_make.txt

Working without errors...

Thanks.

I understand why it doesn't compile on RHEL5: glibc!

Functions le32toh and htole16 are introduced in glibc 2.9. RHEL5 is build on top on 2.5. No Way.

Thanks.

Hi, i have tried on RHEL, why i use this OS and not have problem to build application; maybe if you use unofficial repositories, you may have problems.

i have installed glibc v. 2.17

I try to build on a fresh install (RHEL5). Anyway it is virtually impossible to upgrade glibc on a RHEL system.
But if you have done some magic, I'm glad to obtain a binary for RHEL5 😃 .

hi,

I honestly do not remember if on the 5th I installed the packages from the official channels or manually; On 6 and 7 there are no problems ...

If I remember, there was an article on the official forum: RedHat Community Forum or Alternatively, version 5 is too obsolete, I recommend this article RHEL5 Upgrade

I hope to be able to integrate other OSs on Travis CI so we can properly verify the application build

I know well RHEL5 is obsolete, but I must maintain those legacy systems. I know also I can't expect MAC-Telnet builds on those old systems (2007).

Thaks alot for all support.

Hi,

you use this version 5.11 ?

[fumok]

No I use 5.9, it changes little or nothing.
