Hello Richard. Thanks for the pointers to rrdtools on Windows.
The reason I was asking about rrdtools compilation and gmond compilation is because I was trying to follow the same approach as on Linux where you have to compile first rrdtools and install it. Once that is done instruct to the configure of ganglia core the arguments related with header and library paths to rrdtools. Because of that I thought there were dependencies between gmond and rrdtools. Thank you also for the explanation on how to compile gmond on Windows. It does not seem to me a clean build procedure like on Linux but I'll try your approach. Best regards, Joshua Mora. _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 17, 2006 3:36 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected] Subject: RE: [Ganglia-general] Compiling Ganglia on Windows RRDtool - look to the site? rrdtool windows binary distributions - see page http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/download.en.html scroll down to "binary distributions", http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/pub/?M=D and http://www.cacti.net/downloads/rrdtool/win32 Find documentation as required on his site. I am unclear though. Given you can't run gmetad on windows, what is your point in wanting rrdtool on windows? All the gmond build instructions under cygwin? You asked for it - - download and install EVERY cygwin package (see site how to do this) - download clean ganglia src tar ball. to the cygwin environment (do not for example use a ganglia tree which has had a previous (linux based) "./configure" run on it. - in ganglia src tree under a cygwin shell, "./configure" - make -i - loop around doing last 2 steps over and over until you finally get gmond.exe and gmetric.exe binaries appearing in their respective directories. - Note: ./configure will be slow. If it seems to hang for ever, wait a while, kill the shell window, make another window, and run configure again (and again) until it finally stumbles through. Regardless, try running make -i as well, in case it finally works (It always fails on something, by work, I mean that the binaries appear) - Richard -----Original Message----- From: joshua mora [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 17 May 2006 11:20 To: Grevis, Richard: IT (LDN); [email protected] Subject: RE: [Ganglia-general] Compiling Ganglia on Windows Thank you Richard for the clarification about gmetad. I was hoping to run everything under Windows (Apache, rrdtools, gmetad and gmond). Can you provide some documentation about the compilation of rrdtools (this I believe can be compiled with VS) and gmond under cygwin ? Thanks. _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 17, 2006 2:45 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected] Subject: RE: [Ganglia-general] Compiling Ganglia on Windows Joshua, to the best of my knowledge, gmetad has never been compiled for windows. So you will not be able to run the server code under windows. Gmond and gmetric have been compiled by myself and others in a cygwin environment. There is no windows build documentation. The windows gmond does not implement (properly or at all) quite a few metrics, most notably the load measures. This is not the fault of gmond, but rather the incomplete linux /proc emulation by cygwin. In my case, as the bulk of the monitored systems are windows based HPC farms, I hacked the php code to be (generally) keyed from the cpu metrics rather than the (non working) load metrics. I will mail you a zip file with the binaries. Let me know if they do not arrive. regards, richard -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of joshua mora Sent: 16 May 2006 18:23 To: [email protected] Subject: [Ganglia-general] Compiling Ganglia on Windows Hello Is there a document with explanations (step by step process) about how to build Ganglia (gmetad and gmond) and rddtools for Windows. I don't know if some parts have to be compiled within cygwin or can everything be compiled through solution files with VS. Although I am interested in compiling Ganglia, I am looking also for the binaries to download since I haven't found them.
