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>
