Stand-alone Example syslogp() Application
This is a very simple stand-alone example application. The purpose is
to show how to use the sysklogd 2.x API, e.g. syslogp()
, to use "new"
RFC5424 features like MsgID.
Included in this directory are two files:
example.c
: actual C code exampleexample.mk
: plain Makefile for buildingexample
Provided the two files are in the same (writable) directory, you can build the application like this:
make -f example.mk
GNU Autotools
If you want to use GNU autoconf & automake instead. The following is
recommended in configure.ac
and Makefile.am
to build your
application.
# configure.ac (snippet)
# Check for pkg-config tool, required for next step
PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG
# Check for required libraries
PKG_CHECK_MODULES([syslog], [libsyslog >= 2.0])
and
# Makefile.am (snippet)
bin_PROGRAMS = example
example_SOURCES = example.c
example_CFLAGS = $(syslog_CFLAGS)
example_LDADD = $(syslog_LIBS)
NOTE: Most free/open source software that uses configure
default
to install to /usr/local
. However, some Linux distributions do no
longer search that path for installed software, e.g. Fedora and Alpine
Linux. To help your configure script find its dependencies you have
to give the pkg-config
a prefix path:
PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig ./configure
