I think module loading does not work for some reason. Is /opt/sysroot indeed your prefix or the root of your arm cross compile system? If you set prefix there only to make sure Syslog-ng installs there, then you should use:

./configure --prefix /

make install DESTDIR=/opt/sysroot

Prefix gets embedded into a number of default paths, such as module-path. These can be customised but that needs to be explicit.

There is. I'm not sure what happened the first time, though. This is the most recent output.

Hi,

Is /var/run/syslog-ng.ctl on NFS?

Hi,
I've cross-compiled syslog-ng-3.6.4 for ARM successfully, but syslog-ng is failed to run with a couple errors as shown below. I'm using the default syslog-ng.conf file with only a modification of "scl.conf" to "/etc/scl.conf".

# syslog-ng -f /etc/syslog-ng.conf -c /var/run/syslog-ng.ctl

PS. This is the configuration I use.

./configure --host=arm-linux-gnueabi --prefix=/opt/sysroot/ --exec-prefix=/ --enable-mongodb=no --enable-json=no --enable-stomp=no --enable-amqp=no --enable-spoof-source=no
