But there may be situations where it is desirable +to build directly from the source repository. This is useful for people who would like to +participate in development or who would like to use the latest, not-yet-released code. +The later may especially be the case if you are asked to try out an experimental version. +<p>Building from the repsitory is not much different than building from the source +tarball, but some files are missing because they are output files and thus do not +belong into the repository. +<h2>Obtaining the Source</h2> +<p>First of all, you need to download the sources. Rsyslog is currently kept in a git +repository. You can clone this repository either via http or git protocol (with the later +being much faster. URLS are: +<ul> +<li>git://git.adiscon.com/git/rsyslog.git +<li>http://git.adiscon.com/git/rsyslog.git +</ul> +<p>There is also a browsable version (gitweb) available at +<a href="http://git.adiscon.com/?p=rsyslog.git;a=summary">http://git.adiscon.com/?p=rsyslog.git;a=summary</a>. +This version also offers snapshots of each commit for easy download. You can use these if +you do not have git present on your system. +<p>After you have cloned the repository, you are in the master branch by default. This +is where we keep the devel branch. If you need any other branch, you need to do +a "git checkout --track -b branch origin/branch". For example, the command to check out +the beta branch is "git checkout --track -b beta origin/beta". +<h2>Prequisites</h2> +<p>To build the compilation system, you need the <b>pkg-config</b> package (an utility for +autotools) present on your system. Otherwise, configure will fail with something like +<pre><code> +checking for SYSLOG_UNIXAF support... yes +checking for FSSTND support... yes +./configure: line 25895: syntax error near unexpected token `RELP,' +./configure: line 25895: ` PKG_CHECK_MODULES(RELP, relp >= 0.1.1)' +</code></pre> +<h2>Creating the Build Environment</h2> +<p>This is fairly easy: just issue "<b>autoreconf -fvi</b>", which should do everything you need. +Once this is done, you can follow the usual ./configure steps just like when +you downloaded an official distribution tarball (see the +<a href="install.html">rsyslog install guide</a>, starting at step 2, +for further details about that). + +<p>[<a href="manual.html">manual index</a>] +[<a href="http://www.rsyslog.com/">rsyslog site</a>]</p> +<p><font size="2">This documentation is part of the +<a href="http://www.rsyslog.com/">rsyslog</a> project.<br> +Copyright © 2008 by <a href="http://www.gerhards.net/rainer">Rainer Gerhards</a> and +<a href="http://www.adiscon.com/">Adiscon</a>.
