| How to build and install logrotate on HP-UX 11.00 (these instructions should |
| also work on HP-UX 10.20): |
| |
| 1. Obtain and install the following GNU packages for HP-UX: |
| binutils 2.9.1 |
| gcc 2.95.2 |
| make 3.78.1 |
| I used the packages at the Software Porting and Archive Centre for HP-UX |
| at http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/. |
| |
| Obtain and install the following GNU/Linux to HP-UX Porting package: |
| libhplx library |
| See http://devresource.hp.com/LPK/index.html for downloads. |
| This library is needed to provide the ??? function. |
| |
| 2. Obtain, build, and install popt 1.4 (there doesn't seem to be a build at |
| the Porting Centre.) |
| See ftp://ftp.rpm.org/pub/rpm/dist/rpm-4.0.x/popt-1.6.4.tar.gz |
| Install it into the directory of your choice (i.e. |
| "./configure --prefix=/opt/popt"). |
| |
| 3. Build logrotate, telling it where to find popt and hplx installation. The |
| POPT_DIR defaults to /usr/local and HPLX_DIR defaults to /usr/local/hplx: |
| gmake POPT_DIR=/usr/local HPLX_DIR=/usr/local/hplx |
| |
| 4. Install logrotate into your desired directory (BASEDIR defaults to |
| /usr/local): |
| gmake install BASEDIR=/usr/local |
| |
| 5. Copy the configuration files into your desired location. |
| cp examples/logrotate-default /etc/logrotate.conf |
| mkdir /etc/logrotate.d |
| |
| 6. Set up a cron job to run logrotate daily. See examples/logrotate.cron. |
| |
| 7. I also recommend setting CLEAN_ADM=0 in /etc/rc.config.d/clean, and |
| setting up an init script to use logrotate for this instead. This way, |
| logrotate manages all logfile pruning. |
