I build packages to do this all the time (the only way I'll do it). I would be happy to share my Makefile (which gunzips, untars, configures, makes, installs, and pkgmks). I haven't yet added the logic to it to also build & install libol, but I only have that installed on my development/build systems, not where syslog-ng is actually deployed. ---Jim -----Original Message----- From: Nicholas Berry [mailto:nberry@ragingwire.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 30, 2002 11:26 AM To: syslog-ng@lists.balabit.hu Subject: RE: [syslog-ng]Installing on a non-compiler system You could build syslog-ng in a Solaris pkg format, but I'm not sure how much of a problem you would have installing the package on your Solaris 2.6 system (might not have a problem if you're up-to-date with the recommended patch cluster).

I will also be installing a Solaris 2.6 build on systems in our DMZ which have been hardened and have very little other than the OS. The problem I have struck is that after copying the built source to the target server, "make install" fails with the following error: # make install Making install in src Making install in . make: Fatal error: Don't know how to make target `/usr/local/src/syslog-ng-1.4.15/configure.in' Current working directory /export/home/syslog-ng-1.4.15/src *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `install-recursive' Current working directory /export/home/syslog-ng-1.4.15/src *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `install-recursive' Any ideas on how I get around this easily? NFS is one option, but will not be for the DMZ systems (and is not used in production on any systems here.) I suppose I could install it on the development server using a filesystem diff before and after trick I have used in the past, but again there are problems doing this with the Solaris 2.6 build (which has to be done on a production server as I don't have a Solaris 2.6 dev machine any more.)
