libyaml is as well a new dep. protobuf-c and not protobuf-c-compiler on ArchLinux.

These are the lines you should have.

depends=('libestr' 'liblogging' 'librelp' 'libfastjson' 'protobuf-c' 'snappy' 'libyaml')

rsyslog should depend on protobuf-c and snappy or it fails to compile first with:

configure: error: protoc-c not found. Please install protobuf-c-compiler package.

and after with:

configure: error: snappy header not found - install libsnappy-dev

@hlfh: thanks for the suggestion, implemented. Can you please check if it meets your expectations?

@fordprefect

The rsyslog AUR package does not create its working directory /var/spool/rsyslog defined by the $WorkDirectory variable in the configuration file.
Instead of creating it manually, can we have:
- rsyslog.tmpfiles in source;
- run updpkgsums to update the sums;
- have install -Dm644 "$srcdir/rsyslog.tmpfiles" "$pkgdir/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/rsyslog.conf";
- have d /var/spool/rsyslog 0755 root root - in the rsyslog.tmpfiles.

Sorry, i thought it was clear, but on a second look i see how it wasnt. Anyway it works now, thanks.

A little more effort would be appreciated. Write a comment and don't just dump a terminal output, and building in a clean chroot would also be warranted. The offending patch is dropped, as the problem has been fixed upstream.

Please do not use any of these workarounds, but instead install 8.2508.0-2, which is fixed.

do that wrapper part

update rsyslog... remove file after (or leave it, whatever, i removed it so it doesnt clash in the future with something)

smw commented on 2025-10-04 23:06 (UTC)

There are a couple of options available.

One is to download libgcrypt-1.11.2 from https://www.gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.11.2.tar.bz2 and extract libgcrypt-config, which is a shell script. Put that anywhere it will be found during the build, and it should work. In my case, I simply dropped it into /usr/bin (not necessarily optimal, but I'm lazy).

A different workaround is suggested at https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/libgcrypt-config-missing/59509/2 ("It turned out that simply replacing libgcrypt-config in the package with pkg-config solved the problem."). I haven't tried this one.
