autconf-archive needs added to makedepends to compile.

I had to add autoconf-archive to makedepends in order to compile it. Otherwise the ./autogen.sh step would fail because it doesn't recognize some AX_* macros.

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.
