[Condor-users] Building Condor Quill Fails on 7.8

[Francesco Pierfederici <fpierfed@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am trying to build Condor Quill on RedHat Enterprise Linux 5 x86_64 using condor 7.8 and cmake 2.8.7. I use cmake -DWANT_CONTRIB:BOOL=TRUE -DWANT_QUILL:BOOL=TRUE -DWITH_POSTGRESQL:BOOL=TRUE; make and get

[...]

/home/fpierfed/condor_src/condor-7.8.0/src/condor_collector.V6/collector_engine.cpp: In member function ‘bool CollectorEngine::LookupByAdType(AdTypes, CollectorHashTable*&, bool (*&)(AdNameHashKey&, compat_classad::ClassAd*))’:
/home/fpierfed/condor_src/condor-7.8.0/src/condor_collector.V6/collector_engine.cpp:1204: error: ‘QuillAds’ was not declared in this scope

make[1]: *** [src/condor_collector.V6/CMakeFiles/condor_collector.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

I had seen the same error on previous releases (ticket 2724) but thought that it had been fixed. Am I doing something wrong?

More generally, I understand that Quill is unsupported. What is the recommended way to achieve the same goals (i.e. write logs and machine status to a database)?

Thank you!
Francesco
