Hi,

Could you please help to disable the java modules while cross-compiling the syslog-ng(3.17.2). I tried disabling the java module( --enable_java=no) during configure and showing it as an unrecognized option(This is done in local syslog-ng compile Makefile where doing untar of syslog-ng and configure/make). 

From the below site given the given Java options if we need to use it.

https://www.syslog-ng.com/technical-documents/doc/syslog-ng-open-source-edition/3.16/administration-guide/10#TOPIC-956423

====

If you want to use the Java-based modules of syslog-ng OSE (for example, the Elasticsearch, HDFS, or Kafka destinations), you must compile syslog-ng OSE with Java support.  

====

Mainly I don't want the Java to be cross-compiled and not going to use it.  I see these options are there in configure.ac file.

AC_ARG_ENABLE(java, [ --enable-java  Enable java destination (default: auto)],, enable_java="auto")

Error logs:

===

        ./configure \

           <Some donfig options>

           --enable_java=no \

           --with-module-path="/lib:/lib/syslog-ng"

configure: error: unrecognized option: `--enable_java=no'

Try `./configure --help' for more information

In config.log file below logs are there after compiling. 

  java                        : yes

  java modules                : no

  native bindings             : auto

Thank you Gabor for pointing to correct page for a cross-compiling and choose the dependencies.

I will try this and get back you if any issues.

Hello!

I think what needs to be considered is are the dependencies available on your platform?

Here is a list of dependencies in our admin guide:

https://www.syslog-ng.com/technical-documents/doc/syslog-ng-open-source-edition/3.16/administration-guide/10#TOPIC-956423

The current required versions can be seen in configure.ac file.

We have created a wiki page on github for a cross-compiling getting started:

Hi,

I need a help to choose the syslog-ng package for Linux.

What are the things need to consider when choosing the latest syslog-ng to Linux?

Actually, I wanted to cross-compile the syslog-ng and load into the customized Linux version 4.1.35rt41 

 

The current latest syslog-ng version is 3.17.2 from below site and planning to use this.
