--- name: rsyslog_build description: Handles environment setup and high-performance incremental building for rsyslog. --- # rsyslog_build This skill standardizes the environment setup and build process for the rsyslog project. It ensures that agents use the most efficient build commands and handle bootstrap logic correctly. ## Quick Start 1. **Setup Environment**: Run `.agent/skills/rsyslog_build/scripts/setup.sh` to install dependencies. 2. **Efficient Build**: Use `make -j$(nproc) check TESTS=""` for incremental builds. 3. **Bootstrap**: Use `./autogen.sh --enable-debug [options]` if `Makefile` is missing or build configuration changes. ## Detailed Instructions ### 1. Environment Setup The project requires a set of development libraries (C toolchain, libcurl, libfastjson, etc.). - Use the provided script: `bash .agent/skills/rsyslog_build/scripts/setup.sh` - This script wraps `devtools/codex-setup.sh` and ensures all CI-standard tools are present. ### 2. Bootstrapping (autogen.sh) You MUST run `./autogen.sh` in the following cases: - After a fresh checkout (no `Makefile` exists). - If you modify `configure.ac`, any `Makefile.am`, or files under `m4/`. - If you need to enable/disable specific modules (e.g., `--enable-imkafka`). **Example**: ```bash ./autogen.sh --enable-debug --enable-testbench --enable-imdiag --enable-omstdout ``` ### 3. High-Performance Build Always prefer the incremental build-only command. It builds the core and all test dependencies without the overhead of running the full test suite. **Command**: ```bash make -j$(nproc) check TESTS="" ``` ### 4. Runtime & Library Considerations When modifying `runtime/` or exported symbols: - Ensure the library version script (if touched) is consistent. - Incremental builds handle `-M../runtime/.libs` correctly for dynamic loading. ## Related Skills - `rsyslog_test`: For running validations after a successful build. - `rsyslog_module`: For module-specific build flags.
