<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Hi,<br></div><br>I never did cross compiling, so I can't help you in that one, but compiling nativity on a Raspberry Pi 2 using an up-to-date Raspbian as OS worked fine. First I installed all development dependencies, downloaded an unpacked sources. Next I ran configure with python support disabled (did not have time to debug why configure failed to find python, but most likely you don't need it anyway in an embedded environment). Next I built it and ran make check to see if self check succeeds. Everything was all right. Make install put the whole thing under /usr/local. As it's the only software there, it's easy to remove it using 'find /usr/local -type f -delete' :)<br><br>apt-get install gcc make flex bison libssl-dev libglib2.0-dev autoconf libtool libevtlog-dev libjson0-dev<br><br>wget <a href="https://github.com/balabit/syslog-ng/releases/download/syslog-ng-3.7.2/syslog-ng-3.7.2.tar.gz">https://github.com/balabit/syslog-ng/releases/download/syslog-ng-3.7.2/syslog-ng-3.7.2.tar.gz</a><br><br>tar xzvpf syslog-ng-3.7.2.tar.gz <br><br>cd syslog-ng-3.7.2<br><br>./configure --disable-python<br><br>make<br><br>make check<br><br></div>make install<br><div><br></div><div>root@raspberrypi:/home/pi/syslog-ng-3.7.2# uname -a<br>Linux raspberrypi 4.1.13-v7+ #826 SMP PREEMPT Fri Nov 13 20:19:03 GMT 2015 armv7l GNU/Linux<br>root@raspberrypi:/home/pi/syslog-ng-3.7.2# /usr/local/sbin/syslog-ng -V<br>syslog-ng 3.7.2<br>Installer-Version: 3.7.2<br>Revision: <br>Compile-Date: Feb 14 2016 17:55:46<br>Available-Modules: basicfuncs,pseudofile,csvparser,affile,kvformat,json-plugin,afamqp,afprog,syslogformat,afuser,graphite,confgen,afstomp,cryptofuncs,afmongodb,afsocket,linux-kmsg-format,system-source,dbparser,sdjournal<br>Enable-Debug: off<br>Enable-GProf: off<br>Enable-Memtrace: off<br>Enable-IPv6: on<br>Enable-Spoof-Source: off<br>Enable-TCP-Wrapper: off<br>Enable-Linux-Caps: off<br><br>All of this is documented at <a href="https://www.balabit.com/sites/default/files/documents/syslog-ng-ose-3.7-guides/en/syslog-ng-ose-v3.7-guide-admin/html-single/index.html#compiling-syslog-ng">https://www.balabit.com/sites/default/files/documents/syslog-ng-ose-3.7-guides/en/syslog-ng-ose-v3.7-guide-admin/html-single/index.html#compiling-syslog-ng</a><br><br></div><div>Bye,<br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature">Peter Czanik (CzP) <<a href="mailto:peter.czanik@balabit.com" target="_blank">peter.czanik@balabit.com</a>><br>Balabit / syslog-ng upstream<br><a href="http://czanik.blogs.balabit.com/" target="_blank">http://czanik.blogs.balabit.com/</a><br><a href="https://twitter.com/PCzanik" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/PCzanik</a></div></div>

I started using syslog-ng 3.7.2.<br>
<br>
Armv7 hardware is BCM56340(Helix4) from broadcom<br>
My requirement is sending syslog messages over TLS to remote server.<br>
My compilation went fine for power pc architecture.<br>
But for ARMv7 I am having problem as I mentioned earlier.<br>
<br>
Following is the error. As other community friends suggested to I tried setting magic CFLAGS and LDFLAGS. But could not succeed.<br>
Could you please share your experience.<br>

<br>
Hi,<br>
<br>
Starting with syslog-ng 3.7, sources are only published on github.<br>
This is the current stable version, 3.8 is the current development version, which is now git head.<br>
<br>
BTW: could you write about your use case? On which ARMv7 hardware do you use syslog-ng? How do you (plan to) use it? (I'm an ARM addict, running syslog-ng on the Raspberry Pi2)<br>
<br>
Bye,<br>
