[Nagiosplug-help] Compiling a .c plugin from the contrib/ folder

[Robert Hassing]

Hi

Is there anybody who can tell me what the steps are in order to compile any
.c plugin provided in the contrib. folder?

I'm trying to compile the check_uptime.c plugin at this moment but it ends
up with the following error:

fw2:~/nagios-plugins-1.4.7/contrib# gcc ./check_uptime.c
./check_uptime.c:24: config.h: No such file or directory
./check_uptime.c:25: common.h: No such file or directory
./check_uptime.c:26: utils.h: No such file or directory
./check_uptime.c:27: popen.h: No such file or directory

Is there a specific location to put the source and then compile it or?

Hope someone can help me

Regards
Robert
