Using make to install

Archives Ansible Project

Hello,

I am trying to install perl module for nagiosgraph-1.5.2 with ansible

which can be installed manually with three steps
1> perl Makefile.PL
2> gmake
3> gmake install

afetr 3> gmake install nagiosgraph asking to confirm path where its getting installed. manually we keep pressing enter and finally its installed

Destination directory (prefix)? [/usr/local/nagiosgraph]

Location of configuration files (etc-dir)? [/usr/local/nagiosgraph/etc]

Location of executables? [/usr/local/nagiosgraph/bin]

But in ansible it is getting stuck in 3rd step as its waiting for the inputs , how should this be handled?

Ansible task is as below:

  • name: Install nagiosgraph-1.4.4.tar.gz after untar

shell: “{{ item }}”

with_items:

  • perl Makefile.PL

  • gmake

  • gmake install

args:

chdir: /tmp/{{build_name}}/{{binary}}/RHEL6_64Bit-Install/{{dependencies}}/nagiosgraph-1.4.4/

Thanks in advance,

Mona G
