Hello,
on my GNU/Hurd system, running make on rsyslog-8.2108.0 fails, after a successful configure, because of undefined PATH_MAX and MAXPATHLEN. GNU/Hurd doesn't use such macros, by design choice, to avoid imposing arbitrary limits. Also note that POSIX allows those macros, but doesn't require them. Additionally, many common uses of PATH_MAX and similar are incorrect: for example, the Linux kernel does not really enforce a limit on path lengths, but only on paths to be passed to certain system calls; see https://insanecoding.blogspot.com/2007/11/pathmax-simply-isnt.html for example. Perhaps rsyslog could detect missing PATH_MAX at configure time, but that's not really a solution; I think the only option is to avoid its use entirely, resorting to dinamically allocated buffers instead. I could try that, as there are few instances to replace in rsyslog tree. Let me know, Andrea Monaco _______________________________________________ rsyslog mailing list https://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog http://www.rsyslog.com/professional-services/ What's up with rsyslog?
