Grab the latest source from the zenoss project and just build the wmi-client. With that said they are simply maintaining an external Samba4 source tree with their changes so it’s probably about time they merged it into the main tree.

Hey, wmi-client is removed from debian. It looks like they are replacing it with Samba4 but I can’t seem to find how to migrate to using samba4 to do WMI queries. Any suggestions?

Not personally as I don’t use Fedora but I have seen a few others manage to get it working on the cacti forums.

It would look like a dependency issue. I’m not sure about Fedora but is there any way to say apt-get build-dep samba? Effectively under deb what that would do is grab all the dependencies required to build samba and install them so that when you come to compile it’ll have everything it needs?

Just looking at the errors your having it looks like some build tool or library is missing but not 100% sure what.

ok. i manged to get ./autogen.sh to work after tweaking the files a bit then it tells me to run ./configure and make. Now when i run CPPFLAGS=”-I/usr/include/python2.4″ ./configure i’m geting another error. the error this time is

./build/smb_build/main.pl: can’t open ‘main.mk’ at build/smb_build/config_mk.pm line 197.
0
I’ve been trying all day to resolve this issues but have been unable to get past this. Even though the file exists. if i try to run ./main.pl main.mk it says the command “mkinclude” not found if i try to run ./main.mk I also get the error that command not found. I can’t seem to get around this one.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Nik

Hey,
I modified the autogen file $IPATH to reflect the real path of the files and now i’m getting the erros below. Basically it is saying it cannot open the files and i know the files are there.

[root@nagios source]# ./autogen.sh
./autogen.sh: running script/mkversion.sh
./script/mkversion.sh: ‘version.h’ created for Samba(“4.0.0alpha3-GIT-UNKNOWN”)
finished clearing autom4te and include config

Grab the source package from the Debian repository and build it yourself

Here is the original source file (before the Debian guys make any changes)
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/w/wmi/wmi_0.1.13.orig.tar.gz

Grab that, install any dependencies and then compile it. We had to do the same thing for CentOS and it works fine
