Thanks.

Hi,

I'm getting the TEXTSIZE TOO BIG message every time I have more text in my entry.  I understand there is a way to increase the TEXTSIZE and re-compile.  Where can I find the TEXTSIZE parameter that I can increase and also how do I re-compile.

Appreciate your help.

Thanks.

Hi,

It's possible to build elogd under windows with cygwin, but not sure that is the best as it requires a lot of dependencies that should be included to dist package to be runnable everywhere.

After

• installation of dependencies (gcc-g++, make, libssl1.1, libssl-devel, opendlap-devel, libopenldap2, libkrb5-devel, libkrb5_3) using CygWin setup program,
• instalkation of git tool and clone the git repo (git clone https://bitbucket.org/ritt/elog --recursive),
• modification of Makefile to build with Kerberos/ldap/ssl support,

from cygwin bash under Windows 11, you can build elog :

Hi Stefan

Is there anything the community or forum can help you with or supply for creating a windows version?

Kind Regards Finn

A new version 3.1.5 of elog has been released with all accumulated fixes over the past actually few years. I made a tar file, a RPM, but I could not compile yet a windows version.

Best,

Find -> Export to...

Hi,

Is there a way to export the ELOG entries into a file like an Excel sheet or something.  I see import but not export.

Appreciate your help.

Thanks.
