[syslog-ng]Difficulty compiling syslog-ng 1.4.12 on Solaris 8

[Ken Paris]

Greetings,

Since I am having trouble with getting syslog-ng 1.4.9a to log external 
messages, I am attempting to get the next stable version,1.4.12 going. 

On Solaris 8, I will go to a Development version if there is a consensus that I 
would fair better. What 1.5 version would be suggested.

Disclaimer: Compiling software is not my specialty by any strech of the 
imagination, but I seem to get by ;-)

Platform:   SunOS dv-netlog 5.8 Generic_108528-09 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10

Make seems like a problem and does not complete.

If any additional info is required, I will be more than happy to provide it if 
I know how to. Any assistance would be appreciated.
