I am trying to compile rsyslog for embedded system. I compile rsyslog on PC and copy the binary+libraries to the target system.
I am thinking about how could we ensure that rsyslog will run on the target

On PC. Debian Etchnhalf. Kernel 2.6-24

./configure --prefix=/home/van/testbed
make
make install

cd /home/van/testbed

we would see:
lib sbin

Create a file system on the target and copy all binary + libraries there
mkdir target/sbin
mkdir target/lib

cp /home/van/testbed/sbin/rsyslogd target/sbin/rsyslogd
objcopy --strip-uneeded /home/van/testbed/lib/*.so target/lib/*.so
chmod 755 target/lib/*.so


Unfortunately, rsyslog can not run. May be I misconfig the rsyslog.conf . Or the rsyslog.init must be tailored to my Linux_build_from_scratch.

However, could you tell me if I miss something on my building and copying steps.

What about the *.la files on lib. Do we need to copy/link them?
Thanks

• Custom written rsyslog.conf?
• Maintenance Contract?
• Installation support?
