Hello,

has someone successfully compiled the tool logrotate on HP-UX 11.31 
Itanium?

This version is a little bit outdated and for PA-RISC only:

http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Sysadmin/logrotate-2.5/

I have tried to compile Version 3.7.8 from here: 

<http://logrotate.sourcearchive.com/downloads/3.7.8-6/
logrotate_3.7.8.orig.tar.gz>

Without success:

>/gmake
/usr/local/bin/gcc -Wall -D_GNU_SOURCE -DHP-UX -DVERSION=\"3.7.8\" -O2
-I/usr/local -c -o logrotate.o logrotate.c
<command-line>: warning: missing whitespace after the macro name

The library libhplx.so is installed.

I have not found an other similar tool based on Perl.

If it's just for renaming specific file versions,
why don't you use simple shell scripts?
That's how I do it,
mo messing with perl or gcc.

I'm using now shell scripts for renaming, deleting, compressing. For each 
logfile I have one script and cron job. It's working ok.

It would only be more nice if I have one config file for all the 
application and system logfiles.

Here you go, without compression, but that is trival to add.

In syslog.conf each facility is configure to go to a unique file.

Call from cron as appropriate.

#! /bin/sh
#
# Rotate all the custom syslog files so they don't grow to infinity
#
# All the names are here, but only the ones that exist and have contents
# get rotated.
#
LOGDIR=/var/adm/syslog
for LOG_FILE in syslog.local1 syslog.local2 syslog.local3 syslog.local4 syslog.l
ocal5 syslog.local6 syslog.local7 syslog.user mail.log
do
LOG=$LOG_FILE
if test -d $LOGDIR
then
        cd $LOGDIR
        if test -s $LOG
        then
                test -f $LOG.3 && mv $LOG.3  $LOG.4
                test -f $LOG.2 && mv $LOG.2  $LOG.3
                test -f $LOG.1 && mv $LOG.1  $LOG.2
                test -f $LOG.0 && mv $LOG.0  $LOG.1
                cp $LOG    $LOG.0
                > $LOG
        fi
fi
done
kill -HUP `cat /etc/syslog.pid`
