Unable to compile Prometheus Exporter code - giving undefined errors

[keshava-mc]

I am trying to compile on RHEL using the steps which are listed in the link under the headline "Building a component on your system directly"

https://github.com/ibm-messaging/mq-metric-samples/blob/master/README.md

Note :- I have installed MQ Server - which has MQ Client also and set the variable also export MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH=/opt/mqm

I tried below steps and getting undefined errors

cd ./src/github.com/ibm-messaging/mq-metric-samples
export CGO_LDFLAGS_ALLOW='-Wl,-rpath.'
mkdir -p /tmp/go/bin
go build -mod=vendor -o /tmp/go/bin/mq_prometheus ./cmd/mq_prometheus/.go

[root@Kesh-R1 mq-metric-samples]# go build -mod=vendor -o /tmp/go/bin/mq_prometheus ./cmd/mq_prometheus/*.go

Before this - there was an fatal error: gnu/stubs-32.h: No such file or directory - fixed this issue by executing below commands
sudo dnf -y install gcc binutils make and then sudo dnf -y install glibc-devel.i686

Thanks

No idea what's going on, except that error messages related to i686 suggest you've got sometihng in your environment that's trying to do 32-bit work. Cross-compiling perhaps? Or trying to work on an unusual platform?
