Hi Michael,

That was it! awk and sed pointed to the busybox binary. I symlinked sed and awk to their GNU version and the make file was created flawlessly.

Thanks!

Are you sure, you are not using awk as provided by busybox?

HTH,

You are probably right but my NAS is using rather recent versions:
sed - 4.2.1-1 - Stream editor
gawk - 3.1.8-1 - Gnu AWK interpreter

I think I will try a xcompile on my Debian box. Never did it but I will give
it a try. Anything I should know before I do it?

It looks like the issue is that you are not using the GNU version of awk
and sed

Make sure that both `gawk --version` and `sed --version` state that the
programs
are "GNU awk" and "GNU sed", respectively

Sorry to bump this but I get no assistance from Qnap folks and user
group.
In the mean
time, I am forced to tail -f syslog to a mount which is far from elegant.

It looks like a simple and repetitive awk syntax error but I don't know
where to look.

I am sorry, I am far from being an autotools expert. So I can not help

Michael maybe?

Hi,

I am trying to compile rsyslog on a Qnap NAS (proc Marvell ARM) and the
configure script
throw awk errors when trying to create the make file:

... many more of these errors
