How to build and install logrotate on HP-UX 11.00 (these instructions should

also work on HP-UX 10.20):

1.  Obtain and install the following GNU packages for HP-UX:

        binutils 2.9.1

        gcc 2.95.2

        make 3.78.1

    I used the packages at the Software Porting and Archive Centre for HP-UX

    at http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/.

    Obtain and install the following GNU/Linux to HP-UX Porting package:

        libhplx library

    See http://devresource.hp.com/LPK/index.html for downloads.

    This library is needed to provide the ??? function.

2.  Obtain, build, and install popt 1.4 (there doesn't seem to be a build at

    the Porting Centre.)

    See ftp://ftp.rpm.org/pub/rpm/dist/rpm-4.0.x/popt-1.6.4.tar.gz

    Install it into the directory of your choice (i.e.

    "./configure --prefix=/opt/popt").

3.  Build logrotate, telling it where to find popt and hplx installation. The

    POPT_DIR defaults to /usr/local and HPLX_DIR defaults to /usr/local/hplx:

        gmake POPT_DIR=/usr/local HPLX_DIR=/usr/local/hplx

4.  Install logrotate into your desired directory (BASEDIR defaults to

    /usr/local):

        gmake install BASEDIR=/usr/local

5.  Copy the configuration files into your desired location.

        cp examples/logrotate.conf /etc/logrotate.conf

        mkdir /etc/logrotate.d

        cp examples/?tmp /etc/logrotate.d

6.  Set up a cron job to run logrotate daily. See examples/logrotate.cron.

7.  I also recommend setting CLEAN_ADM=0 in /etc/rc.config.d/clean, and

    setting up an init script to use logrotate for this instead.  This way,

    logrotate manages all logfile pruning.
