<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Hi Girish,<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Those architectures that are listed were known to work in specific points in time and are not guaranteed to remain so. Also, syslog-ng is an application written in C and is aimed to be portable to a number of
architectures, which we also demonstrated in the amount of platforms that we support.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">On this community mailing list, all we can do is help you if you have specific questions/issues. This may or may not match your level of expectations, but we can only guarantee that we put "best effort" in answering
your questions and no guarantees.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Back to armv7, just like Peter Czanik has answered, we know about syslog-ng being used on this architecture, so it should theoretically be possible, but it's not something that the developers use every day,
or which would be a primary platform (those being Linux distributions).<br>
<br>
The toolchain and the environment matters, syslog-ng depends on a number of external libraries (glib for example, which you had an issue with in the past), and we generally assume that those are present on the system already.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">That being said, Balabit does provide support for various platforms and as a commercial entity has the means and willingness to do testing in a wider variety of platforms and architectures. If you would like support guarantees, Balabit
can most probably give that. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The best course of action seems to be for you to:<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal">1) continue your trial and error in compiling syslog-ng, and ask if there's a concrete issue. We will answer to the best of our ability.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">2) try contacting Balabit sales if the response you get on this mailing list is not enough to get your issues resolved.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">I am really happy to help, just like I did in the past.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Disclaimer: I am employed by Balabit (being the CTO there), however I wrote this email as a member of the open source syslog-ng community. I don't want to push anything here, the only reason I wrote this email
is that I started sensing a mismatch of what the community can provide and what you can expect.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I hope this helps,<o:p></o:p></p>
