Well, I tried compiling on a Raspberry Pi with Debian 10 both from source as provided by @admin and then again with the edits @fab but both failed with the same issue.
It must be a Debian-specific thing.
I’ll download Raspberry Pi OS tomorrow and try compiling on that. I assume @admin saying “Raspbian” is just a typo since that distro was discontinued long ago.
If I’m successful, I’ll try finding what differs, and if all else fails, if I have a successful compile, I’ll create a DEB package and add it to my repository so I (and others) can install wmic without so much trouble.
And of course, if anyone has any pointers as to what’s happening here, I’d welcome it very much.
Cheers!
yes, so that it compiles..
Haha! Good reason! I’ll play with those suggestions… here’s hoping!
Thanks @admin – I appreciate your trying it on RPi, and for the work you’ve done to try to get such an old abandoned product work on modern systems. I feel your pain and know it’s not always easy.
Did you have to make changes to the source itself? Would it be possible to instead make those changes to the OpenVAS-smb package and issue a PR since they are quite active, and their version of SMB is miles newer than the old Samba version? I have no idea what you had to change to make WMIC work, so just curious if this could be done. I know OpenVAS-smb compiles fine on everything I’ve ever tried it on. But it still has the issue with wmic on newer Windows 10.
I’ll fire up a Pi and see if I can compile this. I’ve been testing on Debian 10 and Debian 11 amd64. Will see what happens on ARM.
@fab thanks for the info. I’ll look at those lines you removed too, in case it’s important. Did you have to remove those for some particular reason?Cheers!
Thank you @admin – though sadly this still doesn’t help.
Where in your log you get to this:
Compiling heimdal/lib/roken/getprogname.c with host compiler Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at ./script/cflags.pl line 15, <IN> line 1212. Linking bin/static/libheimdal_roken_getprogname_h.a Compiling heimdal/lib/asn1/lex.c with host compiler Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at ./script/cflags.pl line 15, <IN> line 1212. Linking bin/static/libheimdal_asn1_compile_lex.a Compiling lib/replace/replace.cOn Debian amd64 (versions 10 and 11) it fails at that point, and since libheimdal_roken_getprogname_h.a doesn’t exist, none of the further compiling (eg., wmic) work.
Google has been no help.
Who maintains the wmi package? There are references that it is based on zenoss, but I can’t find a zenoss source to see if there is help.
Thanks in advance… hopefully we can get this working soon.
That is very kind @geotek – thank you. Sadly since I’m on an ARM-based server, the amd64 binary won’t work for me.
A history dump? LOL
There must be something missing on my server that it needs. I just can’t figure out what, and there seems to be absolutely zero documentation or support surrounding this version.
Anything anyone can do to help… would be hugely appreciated.
Cheers,
RobbieI see what you mean about it “taking a while” @geotek – but I’ve yet to get a successful build. Mind sharing any more info about your setup or what you had to do?
I’m on Debian, tested on both AMD64 and ARM64, and the furthest I can get is:
Linking bin/static/libheimdal_roken_getprogname_h.a /usr/bin/ar: bin/static/libheimdal_roken_getprogname_h.a: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [Makefile:23787: bin/static/libheimdal_roken_getprogname_h.a] Error 1The compiler then fails and the wmic binary does not get output due to the previous error.
I’ve tried everything I can think of. Checked and double-checked installed dependencies (did I miss something?) but still no success.
Cheers!
