Hi Stefan,

Nice to have up to date RPMs.

For .DEB, I contact the Ubuntu maintainer for its build script, and cool, he replied that he's searching for it. That's could help me to generate the deb more rapidly...

For Windows target, It's supported in Bitbucket but only with private agent :-(

So I tried to build using docker hub MSVC image (abrarov/msvc-2019) but pipeline fails to retrieve the image. Maybe I need to swipe on alternative images, or these images with MS software are unaccepted from Atlassian...

Also, I tried to crosscompiling ELOG Win32 from Linux with g++-mingw-w64-x86-64, but Makefile/sources need to be patched to manage this 'platform'... For the moment, it fails. :-(

Next solution : use Wine in Debian image to build Elog with mingwin as I know that it works (under Windows :-)). Will be tested after all...

.

Many thanks for all your efforts!

For Windows it's more than just getting the .exe. Users want an installer. I used the Nullsoft Scriptable Installer (NSI), but I have no clue if this still works today. But there is still the elog.nsi script in the repository. Next, users want elogd as a service running in the background as a "service". I'm pretty sure the old way of doing that has changed and one would at least have to test this. Unfortunatley I switched to MacOSX about ten years ago (actually most of ELOG has been developed under Windows, but these days are gone), so I'm kind of illiterate in the Windows world now and don't have any time to change that.

Elogd for windows has an option -install which normally does it. Is it working on last Windows version (or the one enclosed in elog:Forum/69664) ?

If Yes, a simple install-as-a-service.bat can be added to archive :-)

Hi Stefan,

Some updates for Windows version.

I spent last WE to try to build ELOG on Windows from MSVCODE, MSCV, crosschain tool under linux etc, but in vain.

ELOG MSVC projects file are obsolete for last MS C++, and after migration, so much error or missing libs for SSL/Ldap/krb5 which should be built... I drop the sponge :-P

With mingw64 under Linux (docker/Debian), the code has also to be updated (C++11), but I don't get a build after all (also libs missing and must be built).

Finally, I can build Windows version from Windows with CygWin gcc-c++ as I did in the past. All the dependencies are available from CygWin installer. I got problems with strlcpy file missing, need to drop inlcude from elog.c and elogd.h as mxml doesn't include it anymore...

I find a Win64 CI/CD solution on AppVeyor which is free for OSS project. After creating account and add link to my ELOG test Bitbucket repo, ad new files (appveyor.yml, buildming script, update NSIS script for CygWin DDL, add tool for service), it builds automatically an elog-ver-release.exe artifact : (current build from GIT with SSL/LDAP/KRB5 available on month up to March 3, 2024 : https://ci.appveyor.com/api/buildjobs/logp7r8f0kcjq9pp/artifacts/elog-3.1.5-a720145.exe)

I installed this NSIS bundle on my PC and it's starting fine as a service.

I will send you the files/patchs if AppVeyor could be used for Windows CI/CD in your project.

NB: the AppVeyor build log enclosed, need some cleanup...

Hi Members,

I have compiled and installed ELOG in Ubuntu 22.04. My ELOG version is 3.1.5 revision fc6679b. I would like to use both the password file (../logbooks/elog.pwd) and the LDAP for authentication purpose. In addition to this, new users should be able to register and existing users should be able to reset their password.

Anyone could shed some light on how to do this in the configuration file?

Thanks,
Scott

Hi Team,

I have set up Elog on the Ubuntu server using the compile and install method. I have installed ImageMagick and GhostScript along with that.

You can find "ImageMagick detected" mentioned in the service status provided below:

However, the ImageMagick was found to be not working on my logbook. See the below error on the logbook.

Cannot create thumbnail, please check ImageMagick installation

I have attached a screenshot for reference.

Please could someone help me how to solve this?

Many thanks,
Scott
