Solaris

It was reported by Martin Huber that under Solaris 7 following command must 
be used to compile elog:

gcc -L/usr/lib/ -ldl -lresolv -lm -ldl -lnsl -lsocket elogd.c -o elogd

It was also reported that the keep-alive mechanism is not working under some 
Solaris systems, so you need to start the elogd server with the "-k" flag to 
turn keep-alives off. 



Yep... does the job.
(even with 2.2.2 under Sol 8)

I was not aware of this. Actually, I don't need 'alphasort' so I removed it 
from the source. The update is at

http://midas.psi.ch/cgi-bin/cvsweb/elog/elogd.c

Please give it a try.

ok - i just continued with 2.0.5, but apparently it still has an UCB'ism
(scandir) that does not work under SYSV:

$ make
gcc -g -o elogd elogd.c -lsocket -lnsl
Undefined                       first referenced
 symbol                             in file
scandir                             /tmp/ccy0Z3iV.o
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to elogd
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [elogd] Error 1
$ egrep scandir elogd.c
  n = scandir(path, &namelist, NULL, NULL);
$

I am having the same experience with ELOG 2.0.5 and Solaris 8. Any work 
around woud be appreciated.

I removed also scandir() in the current version (right now only in CVS). The 
official release of 2.1.0 is planned for next week.

I solved it.
I don't really know if I really needed to compile it but I complied this on the NAS itself so now it is 100% compatible (I believe)

Per

 I managed to package Elog v2.92 build 2462 into and QNAP installer QPKG package.

This is for x86 based QNAP NAS only.

Note: You must have adduser package installed prior to installation.
Login to the NAS with SSH and type:
apt-get update
apt-get install adduser

BR,
