Hello! Without seeing any logs we couldn't really help as nobody except you knows how your system looks like. Having said that let do some guessing... You need a few tools (autoconf, libtool for example) installed and then you can just run autogen.sh which will take care of the heavy lifting of cloning submodules, running libtoolize, autoconf, ... configure could still fail when any of the required components is missing but if you were able to compile a recent point release then it isn't likely, especially when you choose (checkout) the matching tag instead of building the master branch. If you run into trouble then please report back with the exact details. hth, Sandor On 04/02/2015 11:33 AM, Asadullah Hussain wrote:
Hello, I have recently started exploring the syslog source with plan of contributing in future. I am able to run syslog using the source from Balabit site.
But is there a way to compile the Github source? I have tried using Autoconf/Autoscan to generate the configure files but without success. I just have future pull requests in mind as Github source and Balabit source differ in a few files).
