Hi all...
Does anybody success compile rsyslogd on Itanium Architecture 64?
I tried to compile it, and it give me so much errors.

Or is there any RPM for RHEL 4 in IA64?

thanks,
Andre

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

Hi Andre,

I don't have Itanium at hand, so I can obviously not contribute to the root question. However, I would be interested to see the compiler error messages. Can you post them? If so, please also let me know which version of rsyslog you are using.

Rainer

Hi Andre,

Complete build logs for all architectures the Debian rsyslog package is currently built on are here:
http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?pkg=rsyslog
You will notice, that rsyslog has been successfully compiled on
alpha, amd64, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc.


There are definitely some warnings on ia64 like
syslogd.c:793: warning: cast increases required alignment of target type
or
modules.c:326: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size
which should be looked at.

Unfortunately I can't really test rsyslog, because I don't have root access to a ia64 machine, but on the other hand, I haven't received a bug report so far, which is good.

@rainer: iirc, sourceforge.net offers registered users acccess to different types of machines and architectures, which could help in porting rsyslog.

Hi Michael,

it looks like the compile farm was discontinued:

@Rainer: this is the error that I've got..

And my version of gcc is:
gcc version 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-3)


@Michael: Do I need to install any additional package? because, on my previous box, I only install gcc, and I can build it successfuly.

Thanks..
Andre

Andre,

it looks like zlib is missing! You can either install it or disable the compression feature in rsyslog. Please let me know how this worked out.

Rainer

Hi Rainer...
I have no zlib package right now, and can't download it (because of the policy)
so I disable the compression feature, and it works now
awesome..

Thanks in advance,
Andre

I am glad it worked out!

Rainer

Oh, and one thing. You could do us a *big* favor if you rate rsyslog at its freshmeat page:

http://freshmeat.net/projects/rsyslog/

The project is still not widely known and a rating over there definitely helps. Of course, you can also spread the word about rsyslog

If you have the time for rating, that would be great!

Hm, there is something not working correctly then.
The configure script should automatically disable zlib support if it is not found.
So something like this shouldn't happen.

Could you post the output of ./configure?

Cheers,
Michael

Hi Michael, I think there's no configure in my rsyslog folder...
Anyway, when I build this with database feature enabled, there's some error like this:

and I already have mysql client and devel package installed, do I need to install any additional package?

How do you generate the Makefile then?
Please download either the released tarballs (which ship a ready to use ./configure script) and run

Code: Select all

./configure && make

(and optionally make install)
or if you use the cvs checkout

Code: Select all

autoreconf -vfi && ./configure && make

Cheers,
Michael

the Makefile is already there... on platform folder (in my case, it's in linux folder).

Thanks,
Andre

Ahh... that looks like an issue with the tarball. Looks like a left-over from when autotools was not used. Will look in to it and fix (essentially removing the invalid Makefile).

Rainer

mmhhh... I am puzzled. That makefile is not there on my development system. Where did you obtain the tarball from? OK, his sound funny, but I have also looked at the tarball and there is not even a linux subdirectory...

Rainer
