I'm trying to compile my C program using library Api of fluent-bit , but the header fluent-bit.h is missing and I don't understand why.
I installed fluent-bit using installation guide
Here is my code I want to test:
#include <fluent-bit.h>
int main()
{
int i;
int n;
char tmp[256];
flb_ctx_t *ctx;
int in_ffd;
int out_ffd;
/* Initialize library */
ctx = flb_create();
if (!ctx) {
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
in_ffd = flb_input(ctx, "lib", NULL);
flb_input_set(ctx, in_ffd, "tag", "test", NULL);
out_ffd = flb_output(ctx, "stdout", NULL);
flb_output_set(ctx, out_ffd, "match", "test", NULL);
/* Start the background worker */
flb_start(ctx);
/* Push some data */
for (i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
n = snprintf(tmp, sizeof(tmp) - 1,
"[%f, {\"key\": \"val %i\"}]",
flb_time_now(), i);
flb_lib_push(ctx, in_ffd, tmp, n);
}
flb_stop(ctx);
/* Release Resources */
flb_destroy(ctx);
return 0;
}
Here the error I got:
hello.c:1:24: fatal error: fluent-bit.h: No such file or directory
#include <fluent-bit.h>
^
compilation terminated.
Problem solved, I didn't install fluent-bit and headers properly.
Here was the problem : the headers were missing, so move on to cd /path/to/downloaded/fluent-bit-x.y.z/includes
Then use
sudo cmake .
sudo make install
You'll get an output saying that the headers had been installed on your system.
To make sure fluent-bit is correctly installed too :
cd ..
sudo cmake .
sudo make install
You can now use the fluent-bit API without problems
