Now, we should get to compiling the various components of Zabbix, so make sure to install the minimum required packages to get Zabbix working with MySQL. Here they are:

• GCC
• Automake
• MariaDB (or any compatible MySQL DB)

Depending on your distribution and the desired functionality, you might also need some or all of the following packages:

• zlib-devel
• mariadb-devel (for MySQL support)
• glibc-devel
• curl-devel (for web monitoring)
• libidn-devel (curl-devel might depend on it)
• openssl-devel (curl-devel might depend on it)
• net-snmp-devel (for SNMP support)
• popt-devel (net-snmp-devel might depend on it)
• rpm-devel (net-snmp-devel might depend on it)
• OpenIPMI-devel (for IPMI support)
• libssh2-devel (for direct SSH checks)
• libxm2-devel (for VMware monitoring)
• unixODBC-devel (for database monitoring)
