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