building 2.0 on freebsd
I'm attempting to install 2.0 daily snapshot from 12 october onto a freebsd 6.1 system. From the FAQ I see that it needs to have glib installed, which was easy. However, the configure is not able to find the eventlib library. I cannot find what provides this library. My searches all keep pointing to something which is part of bind, which seems not right to me. What do I need to install to get eventlib on this system?

i guess i searched not hard enough... i finally found it. never mind :-(
You should try to work closely with the FreeBSD port maintainer for sysutils/syslog-ng to integrate 2.x into a Port. Unless there is a liscencing restriction I don't know preventing a enw sysutils/syslog-ng2/ port, we're still at 1.6.11 in Ports. Since there is no declared port maintainer right now, look at the CVS log for those who've been commiting fixes to the Makefile: [..in no particular order...] mnag@ linimon@ garga@ sem@ erwin@ novel@ pav@ demon@ ijliao@ will@ olgeni@ steve@ pat@ edwin@ ~BAS l8* -lava (Brian A.

I am still evaluating whether I will be using this software in our infrastructure. If I do (which seems likely), I plan to adopt the port once 2.0 is released. I don't see a compelling reason to keep a separate 2.0 version of the port as it is back-compatible, and I believe that the base port name, syslog-ng, should be the latest version always. That's how I maintain the postfix port, too :-)
VK: I'd be happy to test a beta of the port for Endian issues on Sparc64 and AMD64. I've also got a variety of 5x and 6x boxes on both archs on which I can smash bugs. Just gotta cane `em. I can also do the NetBSD pkgsrc work in pkgsrc-wip.sf.net ~BAS On Wed, 25 Oct 2006, Vivek Khera wrote:
