Just tested, 3.10.1 does not compile on RHEL 6 (well, in practice the latest CentOS 6.X). It fails with: CCLD modules/dbparser/pdbtool/pdbtool ./lib/.libs/libsyslog-ng.so: undefined reference to `g_atomic_pointer_add' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [modules/dbparser/pdbtool/pdbtool] Error 1 make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 So, currently 3.9 is the latest syslog-ng compiling on old distros. Making sure, that syslog-ng compiles on old distros is on the roadmap of the team. Compiling on FreeBSD was fixed right after the 3.10 release, I hope RHEL 6 / SLES 11 will also compile again soon.

Hi,
I'll check RHEL 6 later this week. Personally I tested on SLES 11, as (open)SUSE is my primary testing platform. RHEL 6 might work, at least the later versions, as glib was updated. See https://github.com/balabit/ syslog-ng/issues/1403 for some background info.

RHEL 6 still has 2 years in the normal support lifecycle and even more if a extended support is purchased. IMHO syslog-ng should strive to have a current release that still compiles on these platforms until at least the end of standard support (2020).

hi,
Until now my unofficial syslog-ng 3.10 packages for Fedora / RHEL 7 / CentOS 7 were available from my "githead" repo. Today I created a dedicated 3.10 repository, as I plan to use the githead repo for creating builds from git HEAD again.
It is available at https://copr.fedorainfracloud. org/coprs/czanik/syslog-ng310/
