on centos5 compilation of gearmand 0.32 fails

[Thomas Loescher]

Hello,

i'm trying to compilate geamand 0.32 on centos 5 64 Bit. I get the following error:

  CXX util/pidfile.o
util/pidfile.cc: In member function ‘bool datadifferential::util::Pidfile::create()’:
util/pidfile.cc:122: error: ‘O_CLOEXEC’ was not declared in this scope
make[1]: Leaving directory `/srv/nfsmounts/rpmbuild/x86_64.el5/BUILD/gearmand-0.32'
make[1]: *** [util/pidfile.o] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

compilation on Version 0.29 worked fine with following settings but failed with 0.32:

LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib64/boost141"; export LDFLAGS;
CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/boost141"; export CPPFLAGS;
export CC='gcc44'
export CXX='g++44'

%configure --disable-libpq --disable-libtokyocabinet --disable-libdrizzle --disable-libmemcached --without-postgresql

Do you need more information?

thank you very much and best regards

Thomas

Hello,

thanks for your answer. I found a solution for this specific case.
I created a Patch from the most recent version of util/pidfile.cc to port the changes back to version 0.32 (see attachement)
Now it compiles and works fine.
At least I'd like to know what is the benefit of this O_CLOEXEC stuff? why it's not available on centos 5 (system to old?)
It seems that some other guys ran into the same problem (Bug #980114 )

from my side, bug can be closed

best regards and thank you for gearmand

Thomas
