Hi, I compiled the syslog-ng-3.7.1.tar.gz on a Ubuntu 16.04 machine .The syslog-ng got compiled successfully on this machine. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Libraries have been installed in: /home/anassa/nitish/syslog-ng-3.7.1/install/lib If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR' flag during linking and do at least one of the following: - add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable during execution - add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable during linking - use the `-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag - have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf' See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------Libraries have been installed in: /home/anassa/nitish/syslog-ng-3.7.1/install/lib/syslog-ng If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR' flag during linking and do at least one of the following: - add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable during execution - add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable during linking - use the `-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag - have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf' See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -Ubuntu:~/nitish/syslog-ng-3.7.1/install/lib$ gcc --version gcc (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.11) 5.4.0 20160609 Copyright (C) 2015 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

My project got compiled in 'syslog-ng-3.7.1' folder on machine Ubuntu 16.04. I have a different machine with Ubuntu 14.04.I copied 'syslog-ng-3.7.1' folder on this machine (Ubuntu 14.04). In this machine I tried compiling my CGO project (Go and C) where my Go code is calling the C wrapper code that internally call syslog-ng api's. I have defined all the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS in my Go code for the run-timne dependencies. At the time of compilation it is failing with the following error: Error ===== lib/../deps/syslog/syslog-ng-3.7.1/install/lib/libsyslog-ng.so: file not recognized: File truncated [11:36:44][shellscript] collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status [11:36:44][shellscript] make: *** [main] Error 2 The file 'libsyslog-ng.so' is present at the location 'lib/../deps/syslog/syslog-ng-3.7.1/install/lib/': total 3152 drwxrwxr-x 2 anassa anassa 4096 Feb 5 16:47 pkgconfig -rwxr-xr-x 1 anassa anassa 3208176 Feb 5 16:47 libsyslog-ng-3.7.so.0.0.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 anassa anassa 25 Feb 5 16:47 libsyslog-ng.so -> libsyslog-ng-3.7.so.0.0.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 anassa anassa 1155 Feb 5 16:47 libsyslog-ng.la lrwxrwxrwx 1 anassa anassa 25 Feb 5 16:47 libsyslog-ng-3.7.so.0 -> libsyslog-ng-3.7.so.0.0.0 drwxrwxr-x 3 anassa anassa 4096 Feb 5 16:47 python2.7 drwxrwxr-x 3 anassa anassa 4096 Feb 5 16:47 syslog-ng Can someone please guide me what could be the possible reasons to get this error ? What am I missing here ? Thanks, Nitish
