hi,
I've just posted a pull request that I didn't have time to test: can you pls test if this fixes the issue for you?

While my original patch worked on 3.6.5, we actually need some of the features in 3.12. I have problems with autogen/automake being unhappy with the versions of the autotool chain I have: running autogen.sh: Running autogen in 'lib/ivykis'... libtoolize: You should add the contents of the following files to 'aclocal.m4': libtoolize: '/usr/local/share/aclocal/libtool.m4' libtoolize: '/usr/local/share/aclocal/ltoptions.m4' libtoolize: '/usr/local/share/aclocal/ltversion.m4' libtoolize: Consider adding 'AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS([m4])' to configure.ac, libtoolize: and rerunning libtoolize and aclocal. libtoolize: Consider adding '-I m4' to ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in Makefile.am. (catting the suggested files onto aclocal.m4 does not remove these warnings) However configure does finish, but make bombs out with: /bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -D_GNU_SOURCE -I../src/include -I../src/include -I /usr/local/src/syslog-ng -Wall -pthread -Wno-error -MT iv_avl.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/iv_avl.Tpo -c -o iv_avl.lo iv_avl.c libtool: Version mismatch error. This is libtool 2.4.5, but the libtool: definition of this LT_INIT comes from libtool 2.4.2. libtool: You should recreate aclocal.m4 with macros from libtool 2.4.5 libtool: and run autoconf again. make[5]: *** [iv_avl.lo] Error 63 make[4]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[3]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: *** [lib/ivykis/src/libivykis.la] Error 2 make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 2 I was able to get a working version from the 3.6.5 sources. When I get the 3.12.1 sources from the Centos rpm, I can run configure without running autogen, which does complete and make completes without errors. However, the resulting executable fails to start with this error message: Error parsing config, Error compiling template (Unknown template function "format-json32: included included template-function "format-cim" "$(format-json --pair @timestamp='${R_ISODATE}' --pair .=_ --key *.*)\n"; ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I know next to nothing about the automake and friends (or m4 for that matter), so I don't really know how to address this. -- -- Jim Segrave jes@j-e-s.net
