[NFS] Compileing nfs-utils 1.1.5 on RHEL4 fails in tcpwrapper.c

[NFS] Compileing nfs-utils 1.1.5 on RHEL4 fails in tcpwrapper.c

[Giulio Troccoli]

Hi,

I want to upgrade nfs-utils from 1.0.6 to 1.1.5, so I have downloaded the source code form sourceforge.net and issue the following ./configure command

./configure --disable-nfsv4 --disable-static --with-statduser=rpcuser --disable-gss

Which finishes without errors. But then when I make I get the following

make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/nfs-utils-1.1.5/support/misc'
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../support/include   -I/usr/include -D_GNU_SOURCE -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes  -pipe -g -O2 -MT tcpwrapper.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/tcpwrapper.Tpo -c -o tcpwrapper.o tcpwrapper.c

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/nfs-utils-1.1.5/support'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

I have found the TAILQ_ definitions in utils/idmapd/queue.h but most importantly in /usr/include/sys/queue.h which tcpwrapper.c should have picked up.

Can anubody help? I'm not subscribed to the list so please make sure to CC me.

Thanks
Giulio

This is a bit strange... What environment are you compiling this in? 
You can also try the "--without-tcp-wrappers" config flag

steved.

Thanks Steve, that actually worked, i.e. it compiled. Only now I notice that ./configure --help does mention with package.

Now, before I install the new NFS I'd like to make sure that I built NFS with what I need.

I have a RHEL4 machine that we use for source control. On this server we have an up-to-date copy of the source code. Other building machines (at the moment an AIX and a Solaris) mount the copy of the source code as local file systems. The building area contains sym links to the mounted file system.

>From time to time the build failes becuase some files are not available when they are compiled. This is not strictly true, the file is available but the building machine is told it's not.

I'm not sure how to go on investigating and fixing this issue but I thought I would start getting the latest NFS.

I don't know much about NFS and the option I chose for the configure script are just becuase otherwise it didn't compile. So, do you guys think that even without nfsv4, gss and tcp-wrapper I would achive what I need?

Thanks a lot
Giulio

Could you explain to me why the time is important? It might sound as a silly question, but as I see it it's just one portion of a file system in the remote machine mounted on the file system on the building machine.

Sorry, now that I read it again I see it's not very clear.

The files on the remote machine are only read by the building machine. Nothing is written on the NFS mounted file system by the building machine. NFS is used so that we can share source code among differente building machines. To achive this, do I need nfsv4, gss and tcp-wrapper? In other words, what are nfsv4, gss and tcp-wrapper?

Thanks for your help, it's very much appreciated.

No. You do not need those to achive what your are looking for.

> In other words, what are nfsv4, gss and tcp-wrapper?
nfsv4 - is the latest NFS protocol version
gss - used to secure NFS mounts
tcp-wrapper - is a mechanism to allow or deny hosts access to
              your NFS server.
