I am new to rsyslog. I am trying to install it and get familiar with its functionality. I was able to configure it but I am getting errors when compiling the code. Following are the details.

Thanks is advance for your help!!!!


my OS:
Linux swtlnx3 2.6.9-34.0.2.EL #1 Fri Jun 30 10:23:19 EDT 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

CONFIGURATION

I ran configure as:
../configure --enable-gui successfully the last messages are:

I've arrived at the same problem, on Redhat 5.5 -- same errors, with a snippet of this being:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/src/rsyslog/rsyslog-5.4.0/runtime/queue.c:1291: undefined reference to `ATOMIC_SUB'
/usr/local/src/rsyslog/rsyslog-5.4.0/runtime/queue.c:1292: undefined reference to `ATOMIC_SUB'

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/rsyslog/rsyslog-5.4.0'
make: *** [all] Error 2

So where is this ATOMIC_SUB not being defined correctly?

My configure args are very simple:

Code: Select all

./configure --enable-mysql --enable-mail --enable-gui

When I trim this down to just enable mysql, it still has the same errors. Early on in the compile process I see these errors, which may point to the problem:

Code: Select all

make  all-recursive

I tried compiling 5.5.2 and get the same errors.


Thanks.

I see a number of complaints about various compiling errors and difficulties with rsyslog. Given the number of potential problems, I think we will back off our plans to roll this out until it becomes more stable. Or, perhaps, we'll consider using the RHEL distributed version which is still at 3.x.

[Burn]

this has been dicussed a number of times. You need to add -march=i686 to CFLAGS when compiling on i386.
I have rsyslog 5.4.0 rpms compiled on centos 5.4, but forum requirements for attachments are too strict.

[forrie]

Thank you, this fixed the problem.

I guess my follow-up question would be why ./configure isn't doing this automatically -- as it seems like a reasonable thing it should do?

[Burn]

this I do not know %)

[rgerhards]

It is considered bad practice to modify CFLAGS without the user knowing.

[forrie]

I guess, but if it prevents the product from compiling (as has been in my case), which results in x amount of time trying to figure out why... then why even use ./configure --- I'll just run the flags myself.

Point taken, but I disagree

It is considered bad practice to modify CFLAGS without the user knowing.

[rgerhards]

Well, the only solution than would be to probe the system for which CPU is present. This also means that we need to check which compiler is being used. This opens up a big can of worms. I guess this is the primary reason why it is considered bad practice.

In any case, we have recently included a patch that makes rsyslog compile without atomic instructions and then fall back to (much slower) semaphore operations. That should also solve that issue.
