Hi,

Does it make sense to rework the "--sysconfdir" option of configure, so that I can define the actual directory where syslog-ng.conf is being placed ?

$ ./configure --sysconfdir=/usr/local/syslog-ng/etc $ make && make install

-> /usr/local/syslog-ng/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf

where it should look like

/usr/local/syslog-ng/etc/syslog-ng.conf (without the unneccessary/additional 'syslog-ng' directory in /usr/local/syslog-ng/etc)

This is fixed in syslog-ng 1.9.x, however I'm reluctant to change this in 1.6.x as many build scripts rely on the fact that "syslog-ng" is appended. So you have to patch the configure script to achieve this, sorry. -- Bazsi
