Can't start varnish, missing cc dependency or something

zoltanf

Tried to make a symlink to /usr/bin/cc, from the gcc executable I found, but to no avail, now something else is missing: as

ln -s /usr/pbi/gcc-amd64/bin/gcc42 /usr/bin/cc

Result output from vanish3 startup:

I tried to manually install package from http://files.pfsense.org/packages/amd64/8/All/gcc-4.2.5.20090325_5-amd64.pbi with pbi_add, but it dod not fix the missing cc problem :(

Is there maybe another version of this package that might work?

I tested another installation on pfSense on VM that is a 32bit and seems that it is suffering from the same problem. The vanish gives the missing cc error, and the cc symlink is not created on the system. Is it possible that I only have this error? Nobody uses vanish with latest relase of pfSense on x86 or x64?

Thanks,
Z.

I'll change compile options and ask another package compilation.

zoltanf

Thank you marcelloc, please let me know when it is ready so I can test again.

Best Regards,
Z.

I'm also getting this bug.

Also can you add..

a way to edit 'vcl_hash'
a 'null' option to 'Forward client IP' (I want to set this through HAProxy which sits in front of Varnish)
a way to add acl's

Thanks! If I have some time this week I'll see if I can hack these changes in myself.

Compile args were changed on package info. Let's wait next package compile run to see if it works.

Hiya, I am having the same issue. Does anyone know when the next package compile will run pls?

Cheers,

Still waiting. ..

I have the same problem. Nothing from the webgui changed anything. (Services -> Varnish -> Enable Varnish etc.)

So I logged in and also had to```
ln -s /usr/pbi/gcc-i386/bin/gcc42 /usr/bin/cc


and so when I try to start it manually I get this:

[2.1-RELEASE][admin@skynet.starbase.org]/root(57): varnishd -f /etc/varnish/default.vcl -s malloc,1G -T 127.0.0.1:2000 -a 0.0.0.0:8080
nm: not found
storage_malloc: max size 1024 MB.
Message from C-compiler:
cc: error trying to exec 'as': execvp: No such file or directory
Running C-compiler failed, exit 1
VCL compilation failed


Help would be much appreciated. :)

/ Rocketdog using **2.1-RELEASE (i386)**

The new pbi was compiled by jimp but it still return error.

I'm looking for a way to include cc on this pbi.

We fixed this by manually installing the missing packages.

cc is part of gcc
as is part of binutils

Fetch and transfer the following to /tmp (with i.e. WinSCP on Windows. *nix users should know what to do :) ):

http://files.pfsense.org/packages/amd64/8/All/gcc-4.2.5.20090325_5-amd64.pbi
http://files.pfsense.org/packages/amd64/8/All/binutils-2.21.1.tbz

Then do the following via ssh:

pbi_add -f –no-checksig /tmp/gcc-4.2.5.20090325_5-amd64.pbi
pkg_add /tmp/binutils-2.21.1.tbz
ln -s /usr/pbi/gcc-amd64/bin/gcc42 /usr/local/bin/cc

Optionally install the latest Varnish3 package.
fetch and transfer http://files.pfsense.org/packages/amd64/8/All/varnish-3.0.4-amd64.pbi

ssh:
pbi_add -f --no-checksig /tmp/varnish-3.0.4-amd64.pbi

Thanks for the feedback,

I've pushed a fix for the package and seems that only missing thing was a ln -s from gcc to cc.
