[syslog-ng]question about flags + fix to compile under solaris (PATH_SYSCONFDIRprob)

[Nicholas Berry]

I have also noticed this problem with PATH_SYSCONFDIR in src/config.h.
After running the configure script, PATH_SYSCONFDIR is defined in
src/config.h, but when running `make`, something (perhaps autoconf)
removes PATH_SYSCONFDIR from src/config.h and causes the compile to
fail.  After re-adding '#define PATH_SYSCONDIR
"/usr/local/etc/syslog-ng"' back into src/config.h, everything compiles
fine.

Also, defining "--sysconfdir=<alternate dir>" when running the configure
script is not reflected in src/config.h

I'm using autoconf 2.13, automake 1.4, make 3.79, m4 1.4, and gcc 2.95.3
all under Solar 8 SPARC.

(PATH_SYSCONFDIRprob)



I am currently running syslog-ng 1.5.7 and using the DEFAULT keyword.  I
see that this is removed from the newer 1.5.x releases in favor of
flags.
I cant seem to find any documentation on the syntax or usage.  Can
someone
help me out?

Also, I had not been able to compile any syslog-ng 1.5.x releases for
awhile, I finally fixed the compilation problem.
