Hi,

I'm facing one more issue while cross-compiling the syslog-ng-3.17.2.

Actually, syslog-ng is cross-compiled in one server and another server its failing due to "glib-compile-schemas" is not there in PATH. Both servers are using different kernel versions.

For syslog-ng, I downloaded the glib-2.26.1 version as syslog-ng-3.17.2 is expecting this min version of glib.

My doubt is Why it's using the local glib* packages during cross-compile? Even in config file mentioned glib-schemas and marshal has to be there in PATH

Do we need these binaries in local PATH before using glib-2.26.1 for syslog-ng ? Please let me know your comments/suggestions ?

File: glib-2.26.1/configure.ac
