Error Compiling djbdns and daemontools
Posted by ady on Tue, July 20, 2010
While attempting to compile djbdns 1.05 and daemontools 0.76 on a CentOS 5.5 I received the error:
/usr/bin/ld: errno: TLS definition in /lib/libc.so.6 section .tbss mismatches non-TLS reference in envdir.o
The problem can be eliminated by adding:
-include /usr/include/errno.h
In conf-cc files for each tarball. Don’t forget to install gcc first, if you have a basic installation.
By the way, please remember to follow the installation instruction for daemontools exactly as described or you’ll end up with the software somewhere undesirable. Well, you can change /package to be elsewhere. I stupidly did it on /root as a test so the svcscanboot process was unable to execute programs in the /root directory. They run as unprivileged users.
Although these software felt like really old-school to me, they have very small memory footprint and runs very fast. If you’re also looking into DNS, consider PowerDNS too, as it has very good statistical capabilities.
