Thanks Bazsi, with your valuable input I am successfully configure with --enable-static-linking option. While doing 'make' it is not able to find certain static libraries (*.a).
From where I can get these libraries. I have pasted the error message faced during 'make':

I have checked on my solaris 8 box, these libraries (libpthread.a, librt.a, libresolv, libdoor.a) are not available. From where can I get required libraries? I have used gcc-3.4.6 compiler. I tried to install gcc-4.2.3 on this Solaris box but not succeeded. :( With Regards, Chanchal Verma Balazs Scheidler <bazsi@balabit.hu> Sent by: syslog-ng-bounces@lists.balabit.hu 01/16/2009 07:05 PM Please respond to "Syslog-ng users' and developers' mailing list" <syslog-ng@lists.balabit.hu> To "Syslog-ng users' and developers' mailing list" <syslog-ng@lists.balabit.hu> cc Subject Re: [syslog-ng] syslog-ng-2.1.3: 'Configure' failed on Solaris 8 using --enable-static-linking On Fri, 2009-01-16 at 12:43 +0530, Chanchal Verma wrote:
Hi,
I have successfully build syslog-ng-2.1.3 with --enable-dynamic-linking on Solaris 8. While trying to build using --enable-static-linking option, it is not allowing me to configure syslog-ng-2.1.3 version on my Solaris 8 box (sparc). It is not able to find glib-2.0.a (Static library), though it is available in /usr/local/lib path.

Here is error message while doing compilation:

I have compiled glib-2.13.1 witn --enable-static option to get libglib-2.0.a library using gcc-3.4.6 compiler (same I am using for syslog-ng). Somehow syslog-ng is not able to find Static Glib during configure.
Are you sure syslog-ng finds the proper glib? the configure script uses pkg-config to discover the available glib version, and pkg-config uses PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable to find the relevant .pc files. If you installed the static glib to /usr/local/lib, then your .pc file should have been installed in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/glib-2.0.pc You might have other glib installations, and provided your pkg-config finds those first, your glib library won't be found. I've found one suspicious thing that this is the case: you said you installed glib 2.13.1 and the configure script states that it has found 2.13.0 Try this: pkg-config --libs glib-2.0.pc what does it display for you, I guess it points to a directory different than /usr/local//lib -- Bazsi ______________________________________________________________________________ Member info: https://lists.balabit.hu/mailman/listinfo/syslog-ng Documentation: http://www.balabit.com/support/documentation/?product=syslog-ng FAQ: http://www.campin.net/syslog-ng/faq.html
