[syslog-ng]syslog-ng 1.6.0rc4 build problems

[Hamilton Andrew]

#set up your source:

source net { udp(); } # default port all interfaces 
#or
source net { udp(ip("10.10.10.10") port(514)); };# specific interface and
specific port

#any sort of filter or none:

filter f_local7 { facility(local7); };

#a destination

destination d_net { file("/var/log/netmessages" perm(644)); };  # perm is an
option, you can leave it off.
#or
destination d_macro_net {
file("/var/log/net/$HOST/$YEAR/$MONTH/$DAY/$FACILITY.log" create_dirs(yes)
perm(600)); } #macros

#and a log line

log { source(net); destination(d_macro_net); };  # everything from the port
is logged to the macro determined file
log { source(net); filter(f_local7); destination(d_net); }; # only local7
messages logged

That shows you a couple of different options as well as some defaults.  This
really just scratches the surface of what syslog-ng is capable of...

Thanks for your help - I wasn't offended at all!  

I want to experiment with syslog-ng's ability to log messages received
on the UDP port.  For now, I want to continue to use syslogd to log all
other messages - so as not to disturb the system.  Please could you or
anyone else briefly explain how to make a simple .conf file to log UDP
messages with syslog-ng?

David
