make fails in perllib

[msanderson]

Building clients on Ubuntu 20.04, failed due to a missing perllib/Makefile

1. git cloned the clients repo
2. in clients directory, did ./configure --prefix=/my/path
3. make produced
   make[2]: Leaving directory '/scratch/openargus/clients/examples/ratimerange' making in ./ratemplate make[2]: Entering directory '/scratch/openargus/clients/examples/ratemplate' gcc -O -I. -I../../include -I../../common -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -c ./ratemplate.c gcc -O -I. -I../../include -I../../common -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -o ../../bin/ratemplate ratemplate.o ../../lib/argus_parse.a ../../lib/argus_common.a ../../lib/argus_client.a -lm -lpthread -lz -lmaxminddb make[2]: Leaving directory '/scratch/openargus/clients/examples/ratemplate' make[1]: Leaving directory '/scratch/openargus/clients/examples' making in ./perllib make[1]: Entering directory '/scratch/openargus/clients/perllib' make[1]: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory '/scratch/openargus/clients/perllib' make: *** [Makefile:70: all] Error 2

There was no Makefile in the perllib directory.
Workaround was to explicitly add --with-perllib to the configure command.

Sorry for the delayed response … I have fixed this in the branch for Rocky 9 Linux … let me test it on a few other distros, and I’ll push into a branch we can test … Carter

I've put in fixes for this issue in branch 'carter/perlPythonlib' ...
The fix is to set with-perllib=no and with-pythonlib=no by default ...
To make, use configure to turn these on:
% ./configure --with-perllib

This will cause configure to create the ./perllib/Makefile and add the directory to the system Makfile. Same goes for python lib ...
% ./configure --with-pythonlib
