Hi Brad, Thanks for the easy tutorial for compiling gmond on Cygwin. It's too bad that Ganglia can't build with the free MSVC tools, but I understand that Ganglia is very GNU-oriented. I was able to follow the instructions for the 3.0.4 ganglia-core tarball with a relatively new version of Cygwin. One thing it might be good to add to the tutorial is that users should make sure they have installed all the required libraries before trying to compile, because installing them after some of the libraries have built will necessitate a 'make clean'. Isn't autoconf supposed to puke during the configuration step if the prerequisite libraries/headers aren't installed or findable?
Also, how feasible is a binary distribution of gmond/gmetric for Windows? All one needs is the Cygwin DLL to run a Cygwin-compiled binary from a regular Windows script, right? I haven't actually gotten the gmond to feed its metrics on my Windows machine to my Linux cluster though. I've tested that the cluster can ping the machine, but the debug output is not enlightening. I run gmond in the foreground from Cygwin like: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /cygdrive/c/downloads/ganglia-3.0.4/ganglia-3.0.4/gmond $ ./gmond.exe -d 10 tcp_accept_channel bind=NULL port=8649 That's all I see. Then I run gmetad as usual with a new data source added into gmetad.conf with debug level 10, but I never see any updates in the debug output from gmetad except: [Zaphod] is a 2.5 or later data stream I do see a few of these in the syslog: Aug 23 12:19:11 fenchurch /usr/sbin/gmetad[23085]: data_thread() got no answer from any [Zaphod] datasource Aug 23 12:19:45 fenchurch /usr/sbin/gmetad[23085]: data_thread() got no answer from any [Zaphod] datasource Aug 23 12:19:59 fenchurch /usr/sbin/gmetad[23085]: data_thread() got no answer from any [Zaphod] datasource Any ideas? -Matt Chambers > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:ganglia- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brad Nicholes > Sent: Thursday, August 23, 2007 10:10 AM > To: ganglia-developers@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [Ganglia-developers] [PROPOSAL] Building Gmond on Windows Doc... > > Attached is a doc that was prepared by Rajrajat Naik.
