jaafarCan anyone share with me the commands required to get syslog working?  /var/log/syslog is empty, but I can see the library I'm testing with writes to it (with syslog(LOG_ERR, ...))08:35
jaafarthis is under scratchbox x8608:35
fluxno, but syslog works by sending messages to the syslog daemon. so you have to make sure /dev/log is connected somewhere.08:48
jaafarflux: thanks.  I'm not sure what you mean, though.  /dev/log doesn't exist - are you saying it should be a link?  Or there should be a device driver that owns it?  Or something? confused :)08:50
flux/dev/log is a unix domain socket that is created by the syslog daemon08:51
fluxso basically you need to start syslogger in your environment08:51
fluxor, you could hardlink it from the parent system to use its syslogger08:51

jaafarHm, can't seem to find out anything about syslogger.  There is this "sysklogd" thing, but I'm not sure how to start it.  I do have it installed.  ps doesn't show any syslog stuff.  Is there a way to launch syslogger?08:54
fluxapt-cache search syslog should give you some syslog implementations. my workstation runs rsyslogd.08:55
jaafarwow, I have man pages for syslogd but no "man" installed08:55
jaafarhm, just running "syslogd" from the command line results in output in /var/log/syslog.  That's encouraging.08:57
jaafarOK, nothing other than the syslogd startup message appeared in /var/log/syslog within Scratchbox :(09:04
*** spiritd has joined #maemo-devel09:05
jaafarOn the host system "rsyslogd -c4" is running.  Within scratchbox "syslogd" is running.  But the calls to syslog from my application without scratchbox are not resulting in any output in either /var/log/syslog within Scratchbox, or /var/log/syslog in the host system.09:06
jaafars/without/within/09:07
jaafarThis seems like such a simple (and common) requirement I'm surprised I can't find a reference to how to do it...09:07
jaafarOK, looks like the "syslogd" I'm running within Scratchbox cannot create /dev/log, even when run from "09:24
jaafarfakeroot"09:24
jaafarmessage is "Called logerr, msg: cannot create /dev/log"09:25

jaafarsudo ln /dev/log /scratchbox/users/me/dev/log results in "Invalid cross-device link"10:10
fluxyeah, it works only if the device is the same10:10
fluxI guess a trick would be to first mount whole /dev with mount -o bind under scratchbox, then have a symbolic link to that log-file in scratchbox' dev10:11
jaafarMy solution at this time is to build the problem library from source and redefine the logging macro to dump to stdout :)10:20
