Re: monit compilation on AIX 6.1 fails (libperfstat.h)

[Benedikt Wegmann]

Hello!

With help from an experienced colleague the problem got fixed.
After ./configure the source src/process/sysdep_AIX.c needs an
additional include:

--- ../monit-5.3.1/src/process/sysdep_AIX.c     2011-10-25 01:01:51.000000000 
+0200

  #endif
  
  #ifdef HAVE_LIBPERFSTAT_H
+ #include <sys/protosw.h>
  #include <libperfstat.h>
  #endif
  
And then src/config.h needs to be edited to actually use libperfstat.h

--- ../monit-5.3.1/src/config.h 2011-11-18 09:50:48.000000000 +0100

  /* Define to 1 if you have the `pthread' library (-lpthread). */
  #define HAVE_LIBPTHREAD 1

After that make runs fine without errors. :)

Sincerely,
Benedikt
