Take package sources for el8 https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/6.0/rhel/8/SRPMS/zabbix-6.0.13-release1.el8.src.rpm
Unpack. Delete include zabbix source tarball.

Prepare to build rpms. Install dependencies as needed. Edit the version in zabbix.spec file if needed.

Prepare to systems with different versions of autoconf/automake.

I used:

Older:

• Rocky 8
• automake (GNU automake) 1.16.1
• autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.69

Newer:

• Arch
• automake (GNU automake) 1.16.5
• autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.71

Clone ssh://[email protected]:7999/zbx/zabbix.git on both systems.

Prepare source tarballs on both systems from the same commit.

./bootstrap.sh && ./configure && make gettext && make dbschema && cd src/go/ && go mod vendor && cd - && make dist

Try building rpm packages.

With the source tarball made on older system it builds fine.

With the source tarball made on a newer system it fails.
