I had the same issue using Sun Studio for building 64-bit binaries on Solaris. Could you apply this patch to eventlog, rebuild it and retry? --- src/evtstr.c-orig 2010-12-03 14:44:25.000000000 +0100 +++ src/evtstr.c 2010-12-03 14:45:21.000000000 +0100 @@ -48,6 +48,7 @@ #ifdef _MSC_VER #include <malloc.h> #endif +#include <alloca.h> /* event string handling */ On Thu, Mar 1, 2012 at 3:21 PM, Jonathan Kaufman <jkaufman@footlocker.com> wrote:
Hello All, I am hoping someone out there has a working installation of 3.2.5 on Aix 7.1 and can help me get mine working.
I am currently trying to use a self-compiled version of 3.2.5 on an Power7 CPU Aix 7.1 TL1 SP3 box. I was able to get Syslog-NG to compile on Aix 7.1 after I mangled a new libtool release into the source so it would compile shared objects.
Unfortunately, when I start syslog-ng it core dumps repeatedly.
Core dumps start filling up /sftw/syslog-ng/var and a ps -ef shows only the "supervising syslog-ng process".
a dbx syslog-ng gives this output...

I have also tried using the Syslog-ng rpm's from perzl & Bull. Both of them core dump as well, so I went back to trying to get a self-compiled release to work as I have some control over that.
I used IBM VisualAge C/C++ v11.1.0.9 as the C compiler.

I mangled libtool 2.4.2 into the source directories so it would detect/compile shared libraries (it wouldn't otherwise).
I compiled and installed eventlog 0.2.12 in /sftw/syslog-ng, I also compiled OpenSSL 1.0.0g into it staticly.
I am initially trying to start it using the default configuration files.
There were no errors during the compile, and a syslog-ng -s did NOT coredump.
I believe syslog-ng is using the following libraries and their locations (dynamically linked).
[root@mlwitt71]:[/sftw/syslog-ng/sbin] > ldd syslog-ng syslog-ng needs: /sftw/syslog-ng/lib/libsyslog-ng.a(libsyslog-ng.so.0) /usr/lib/libnsl.a(shr.o) /opt/freeware/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so /opt/freeware/lib/libglib-2.0.so /usr/lib/libpthread.a(shr_xpg5.o) /usr/lib/libc.a(shr.o) /sftw/syslog-ng/lib/libevtlog.a(libevtlog.so.0) /usr/lib/librtl.a(shr.o) /opt/freeware/lib/libpcre.a(libpcre.so.0) /usr/lib/libthread.a(shr.o) /usr/lib/libpthreads_compat.a(shr.o) /usr/lib/libpthreads.a(shr_xpg5.o) /usr/lib/libtli.a(shr.o) /opt/freeware/lib/libglib-2.0.a(libglib-2.0.so.0) /opt/freeware/lib/libintl.a(libintl.so.1) /usr/lib/libiconv.a(shr4.o) /usr/lib/libpthreads.a(shr_comm.o) /unix /usr/lib/libcrypt.a(shr.o) /usr/lib/libpthreads.a(shr.o) /usr/lib/libc.a(pse.o)
and the configure command when compiling from source was:
./configure --prefix=/sftw/syslog-ng \ --disable-spoof-source \ --enable-dynamic-linking \ --enable-debug \ --enable-ssl
and I added -g to the CFLAGS
I am using glib2-2.28.6-1 from perzl as well.. I plan on removing the --enable-debug if I can get it working
Any ideas?
