[syslog-ng] 3.4 head on FreeBSD

[Peter Czanik]

Hello,

While trying to compile on FreeBSD 9.1, I ran into this problem:

Disabling libnet support results in a successful build, but it can't be 
started:

root at fb91:/root/syslog-ng-devel # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/syslog-ng onerestart
syslog_ng not running? (check /var/run/syslog.pid).
Starting syslog_ng.
WARNING: Configuration file format is too old, syslog-ng is running in 
compatibility mode Please update it to use the syslog-ng 3.4 format at 
your time of convinience, compatibility mode can operate less 
efficiently in some cases. To upgrade the configuration, please review 
the warnings about incompatible changes printed by syslog-ng, and once 
completed change the @version header at the top of the configuration file.;
Unable to determine how to monitor this fd, follow_freq() not set and it 
is not possible to poll it with the current ivykis polling method, try 
changing IV_EXCLUDE_POLL_METHOD environment variable; fd='11'
Error initializing log_reader, closing fd; fd='11'
Error initializing message pipeline;
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/syslog-ng: WARNING: failed to start syslog_ng

FreeBSD installs syslog-ng-3.4.0alpha3/scl/syslog-ng.conf by default, so 
it needs a version bump.

It can easily be fixed by me. But system() is now in C instead of shell 
scripts...
Bye,
