I want to use rrdtool in C/C++. Would love to help create some sort of 
bindings or do something with the rrdtool source code.

I had a look through the rrdtool.h header files, etc. I guess one would use 
the header files for the functions, and then link in the librrdtool or 
librrd_th. All the functions are in the header files... even though there's 
quite a lot of 'em.

[rrd-users] Sorry

2005-07-28 Thread Kevin C.
Apologies for the previous friendster junk. That was not deliberate and 
please please ignore it and delete it.


Somehow friendster was able to mass send to every single email address in my 
hotmail account :S including the safe-mailing-list-email-address :O

Apologies again and sorry for the inconvience.

Cool! Please tell me more details.

[rrd-users] Re: C/C++ vs. rddtool

2005-07-22 Thread Kevin C.
Hi all again.

I have a little file called pathrddtool.sh which contains the lines:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.10/bin

After running the script I still don't get my path to rrdtool. I even echo 
$PATH and it's still the original.

Would it be better going back to the ./configure instruction of 
rrdtool-1.2.10 and instead of specifying --prefix=$INSTALL_DIR (as stated in 
the rrdbuild page), just omit it? I assume it would install to /usr. The 
rrdtool-1.2.10/bin should map to /usr/bin, rrdtool-1.2.10/include mapping to 
/usr/include...hopefully... Correct me on this one.

Cheers

Thanks Daniel for the info. I'll look into it.

Just also wondering.

I followed the rrdbuild page of instructions word by word for building and 
installing rrdtool. I notice that the $BUILD_DIR = 
/usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.10.

I successfully executed every instruction including the last 'make install' 
for rrdtool-1.2.10. However I notice that I cannot execute rrdtool elsewhere 
but the bin folder. Is it normal that the 'make install' doesn't 
automatically 'path' the /usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.10/bin folder? Do we have to 
manually path this folder ourselves?

[rrd-users] C/C++ vs. rddtool

2005-07-22 Thread Kevin C.
Is it possible to use rddtool within C/C++ application?

How does one use the rddthread that's documented? Is this the librdd_th 
library we can use in C/C++ applications?
