Using make to install

[Mona Gopal]

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

Run gmake install with expect
