HowTo compile wmic on Centos
In this posting you will be learning how to compile the wmic addon for Cacti to monitor Windows systems from a CentOS based Cacti system.
Addition Information
Proecdures
The following commands retrieve the wmi sources from zenoss.org and compiles them. The wmic binary is only a small part, but the compile process takes some time to complete due to it processing all required sources.
cd /tmp svn export http://dev.zenoss.org/svn/tags/wmi-1.3.14/ cd /tmp/wmi-1.3.14/Samba/source ./autogen.sh ./configure make
You may see an error like this, which you can safely ignore.:
make: *** No rule to make target `wmi/wmiq.o', needed by `bin/wmiq'. Stop.
If you get any other error then you can try using this make command:
make "CPP=gcc -E -ffreestanding"
You will now have the wmic binary in /tmp/wmi-1.3.14/Samba/source/bin The wmic binary is the only file needed. You can safel delete the wmi directory after you stored the wmic binary to a safe place.
This compilation was tested on CentOS 6.2 32bit

Hello.
I’m on Cent OS 6.4 x64, when I do make, I got an error and I can’t find any solutions on the net.
Linking bin/static/libheimdal_roken_getprogname_h.a
/usr/bin/ar: bin/static/libheimdal_roken_getprogname_h.a: No such file or directory
make: *** [bin/static/libheimdal_roken_getprogname_h.a] Erreur 1
If you have any ideas to solution that 😀
Hi,
Can you explain a bit more what you did ? That missing file comes together with the SVN export command.
I just tested the above steps with CentOS 6.4 64bit and was not able to reproduce the error.
