I am working on writing a "rrdtool build howto" for win32. My motive for this is to be able to use the ruby rrdtool bindings on a windows platform. My aim is for this process to be easily repeatable for others to follow as new versions of rrdtool are released.
Using the WIN32-BUILD-TIPS.txt included with the rrdtool source, I have been able compile and run rrdtool v1.3.5 using Visual C++ 2008 Express edition. I needed to modify the code for a couple of the source files. My C programming skills are limited, so I'm not sure if what I did was best practice. I was also able to compile the code for the ruby bindings. The rrdtool executable seemed to work OK with the limited tests I ran. The ruby bindings worked OK for some of the functions, but I had some problems with other functions. Some of the forum information seemed to point to fixes in later releases. Tobi sugessted that I should always use the latest release. So I have started with rrdtool v1.3.8 I followed the instructions WIN32-BUILD-TIPS.txt using using Visual C++ 2008 Express edition. I received the following error when I tried to build rrdlib. 1>------ Build started: Project: rrdlib, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------ 1>Compiling... 1>rrd_restore.c 1>..\src\rrd_restore.c(917) : error C2664: 'get_long_from_node' : cannot convert parameter 3 from 'time_t *' to 'long *' 1> Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast 1>Build log was saved at "file://d:\projects\rrdtool\rrdtool-1.3.8\win32\Debug\BuildLog.htm" 1>rrdlib - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s) ========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ========== Any help appreciated. My apologies if this is a noob question. Thanks.
