Yes I started with the usbups_whitepaper template. It needed a lot of
modifications.
The endian assumed was big (for Sparc) but x86 has little endian among
other things and the report descriptor parsing I had to understand.
Now, I noticed two different problems in NUT: 1) when using
'--without-snmp'
and 2) when not using '--without-snmp' option.
1) Looks good so far. After I fixed a compilation error in libusb.c the package
did build cleanly without errors or warnings for this configuration. Will have
to wait
till tomorrow till I can try the usbhid-ups driver from this build on a real
Solaris 10 system. Will let you know if the USB interface works with my
tripplite UPS.
I was using gcc 3.4.3 which comes with Solaris 10 (I also have gcc 4.2.1
installed
so I can try it on that version if needed).
The fix I did in libusb.c was simply to add in the beginning of libusb.c:
#ifdef SUN_LIBUSB
static void libusb_close();
#endif
since this function otherwise will be referenced further down before being
defined.
2) With snmp, this is still not resolved. Although I'm personally not using
snmp we still
want to have the whole package being built cleanly. I have attached the
config.log for
this case:
setenv PATH
'/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/sfw/bin:/opt/inst/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/opt/SUNWspro/b
in:/usr/ucb:/home/pdl/bin:/usr/dt/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/openwin/bin'
./configure --with-usb=auto --prefix=/opt/inst/local/nut
--with-statepath=/var/ups --with-user=pdl --with-grou
p=pdl
/usr/sfw/bin/gmake
The error seems to occur at the generation of snmp-ups:
:
if gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../include -I../include -I/usr/sfw/include
-g -Dsolaris2 -I. -I/usr/sfw/i
nclude -O -Wall -Wsign-compare -MT snmp-ups.o -MD -MP -MF
'.deps/snmp-ups.Tpo' -c -o snmp-ups.o snmp-ups.c; \
then mv -f '.deps/snmp-ups.Tpo' '.deps/snmp-ups.Po'; else rm -f
'.deps/snmp-ups.Tpo'; exit 1; fi
/bin/bash ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc -I../include -I/usr/sfw/include
-g -Dsolaris2 -I. -I/usr/sfw/in
clude -O -Wall -Wsign-compare -o snmp-ups snmp-ups.o ../common/libcommon.a
../common/upsconf.o ../common/p
arseconf.o ../common/state.o main.o dstate.o -R../lib -L/usr/sfw/lib -lnetsnmp
-lgen -lpkcs11 -lkstat -lelf -l
m -ldl -lnsl -lsocket -ladm -lrt -lsocket -lnsl
libtool: link: only absolute run-paths are allowed
gmake[1]: *** [snmp-ups] Error 1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/inst/packages/nut/nut-2.2.1/drivers'
gmake: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
Another thing: one path you might want to add in PATH in the Solaris readme is
/opt/sfw/bin
since some gnu utilities get installed in /usr/sfw/bin and others in
/opt/sfw/bin.
