"Checking out the glib source, glib does not seem to be prepared to be used in static linking, but I may be wrong here."

Seems you'll have to proof Bazsi wrong if you want this ;-)

Out-of-context here, glib does not work in static form on Windows. But should on Solaris. I'll answer the other mail with a possible solution. -- Bazsi

Thanks Bazsi, with your valuable input I am successfully configure with --enable-static-linking option. While doing 'make' it is not able to find certain static libraries (*.a).

From where I can get these libraries. I have pasted the error message faced during 'make':

Are you sure syslog-ng finds the proper glib? the configure script uses pkg-config to discover the available glib version, and pkg-config uses PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable to find the relevant .pc files. If you installed the static glib to /usr/local/lib, then your .pc file should have been installed in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/glib-2.0.pc You might have other glib installations, and provided your pkg-config finds those first, your glib library won't be found. I've found one suspicious thing that this is the case: you said you installed glib 2.13.1 and the configure script states that it has found 2.13.0 Try this: pkg-config --libs glib-2.0.pc what does it display for you, I guess it points to a directory different than /usr/local//lib -- Bazsi ______________________________________________________________________________ Member info: https://lists.balabit.hu/mailman/listinfo/syslog-ng Documentation: http://www.balabit.com/support/documentation/?product=syslog-ng FAQ: http://www.campin.net/syslog-ng/faq.html

I want to deploy syslog-ng-2.1.3 messageing tool on various Solaris OS (8,9,10). As per my understanding if I build it on Solaris 8 with --enable-static-linking option successfully, I would be able to run same program on any Solaris installation that is same version or later than the system on which it was created. Otherwise I have to build same tools (syslog-ng-2.1.3) on number of Solaris machines and that will take time and effort. I am not sure by doing --enable-dynamic-linking/--enable-mixed-linking option, I will be able to achieve same result. Any help will be highly appreciated.

I have checked on my solaris 8 box, these libraries (libpthread.a, librt.a, libresolv, libdoor.a) are not available. From where can I get required libraries? I have used gcc-3.4.6 compiler.

I tried to install gcc-4.2.3 on this Solaris box but not succeeded. :(

Well, why do you want to compile syslog-ng completely statically? IIRC Sun does not endorse (or support) completely statically linked binaries. Low level libraries like the libc should be linked statically. Syslog-ng has a mixed linking option (--enable-mixed-linking) in which case user-level libraries like glib are linked statically, whereas system libraries (like the ones missing in your compilation output) are linked dynamically. Isn't that enough for you? -- Bazsi ______________________________________________________________________________ Member info: https://lists.balabit.hu/mailman/listinfo/syslog-ng Documentation: http://www.balabit.com/support/documentation/?product=syslog-ng FAQ: http://www.campin.net/syslog-ng/faq.html
