Cannot compile gvmd

Archive Greenbone Community Edition

I have a problem compiling gvmd-21.4.2 for Centos 8 according to Full GVM-11 Build Guide for CentOS 8

The following items are included in the section below

gvmd
The centos default postgres-devel package puts include files in / usr / include, rather than / usr / include / postgresql, the latter which is where the code
expects them. We can either hack the code, or just add a soft link, which I prefer as it’s easier:

AS ROOT:
ln -s / usr / include / usr / include / postgresql
(code wants “postgresql / libpq-fe.h”)

AS GVM:
For centos, “libpq” is required but is unfortunately not included in the cmake setup. We need to add it:
(alternate: I think you can do this with an environment variable too…)

add -lpq in /opt/gvm/src/gvmd-9.0.1/CMakeLists.txt
change this:
set (CMAKE_C_FLAGS “$ {CMAKE_C_FLAGS} -Wall -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_ISOC99_SOURCE -D_SVID_SOURCE -D_DEFAULT_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS = 64”)
to this:
set (CMAKE_C_FLAGS “$ {CMAKE_C_FLAGS} -Wall -lpq -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_ISOC99_SOURCE -D_SVID_SOURCE -D_DEFAULT_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS = 64”)

(Note the complicated cmake below: we have to be very specific to educate cmake where all the postgres goodies are)

cd / opt / gvm / src
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH = / opt / gvm / lib / pkgconfig
cd gvmd
mkdir build
cd build
cmake … -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX = / opt / gvm / -DPostgreSQL_TYPE_INCLUDE_DIR = / usr / include / pgsql / server -DPostgreSQL_INCLUDE_DIR = / usr / include / pgsql / server -DPostgre64 = pgs_rIBR64 / pgs_rIBR64 = pgs_rIBR64
make

When executing cmake, I get the following information on the screen:
cmake … -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX = / opt / gvm / -DPostgreSQL_TYPE_INCLUDE_DIR = / usr / include / pgsql / server -DPostgreSQL_INCLUDE_DIR = / usr / include / pgsql / server -DPostgre64 = pgs_rIBR64 / pgs_rIBR64 = pgs_rIBR64

There are some warnings, but the target link is only to the library.

I’m doing the main build and this is where I have a problem:
