Summary: Cannot compile AOLserver on FreeBSD
Initial Comment:
I am a Quality Assurance Software Engineer for Nokia,
Inc. in Kanata, Ontario, Canada. I am trying to
install AOLServer in our test lab for doing tests with
our new SSL Accelerator. The server is a FreeBSD 4.2
machine. I am using GMAKE 3.79.1 to compile it.
Everytime I try to compile aolserver, I get the
following error:
=====
gmake

What is causing these errors, and how can I fix them?
I have reformatted the server machine twice now. It
is imperative that I get this server up and running.

Doug, were you able to finally build AOLserver on FreeBSD?
tyge's suggestion should have got things going for you, but
you never downgraded this ticket from severity 9 -- is this
still an issue? Can this ticket be closed?

I may be wrong and I am NOT a programmer but this is what I
did. After reading some information about AOL, I Looked at
the file aolserver-3.3.1/include/Makefile.global
Towards the end of the file there is a comment "Tcl 7.6 on
*BSD has a different name....."
I looked at the ifeq statement and notice that TCL8X_LIB
line was not the same as in the else part. Since the
comment from above do not say anything about Tcl8.3 name
being different, I assumed that someone forgot to add the
period sign. So, what I did was to make the TCL8X_LIB line
in the "if" part look like the TCL8X_LIB line in the "else"
part. The gmake, gmake install and gmake clean completed.
Right now I am trying to see if the AOL server is working.
I hope this helps you.
BEFORE:
#Note: Tcl 7.6 on *BSD has a different name for no apparent
reason.

TCL8X_DIR=tcl8.3.2
TCL76_DIR=tcl7.6
ifeq (bsd, $(findstring bsd, $(PLATFORM)))
TCL76_LIB=libtcl76.a
TCL8X_LIB=libtcl83g.a
else
TCL76_LIB=libtcl7.6.a#

Doug,
I don't have an answer for you, but some suggestions that
might help.
1. Compare the following two makefiles:
/usr/local/aolserver3_3_1/tcl8.3.2/unix/Makefile and
/usr/local/aolserver3_3_1/tcl7.6/unix/Makefile
2. Compare these makefiles also:
/usr/local/aolserver3_3_1/tcl8.3.2/Makefile and
/usr/local/aolserver3_3_1/tcl7.6/Makefile
You may also want to try building a non-debug version and
see if it compiles.
