Probably the program you are porting to windows uses the syslog(3) function call (in addition to openlog and closelog). These are defined in syslog.h on unix. Windows does not have these, so you can do the following:

  • Remove syslog.h and these function calls from the code.
  • Create a syslog.h and implement these calls or just define them as empty macros.
  • Use cygwin which provides POSIX compatibility.
