[syslog-ng]Installing on a non-compiler system

[Clausing, James A (Jim), SOLCM]

	I build packages to do this all the time (the only way I'll do it).
I would be happy to share my Makefile (which gunzips, untars, configures,
makes, installs, and pkgmks).  I haven't yet added the logic to it to also
build & install libol, but I only have that installed on my
development/build systems, not where syslog-ng is actually deployed.

You could build syslog-ng in a Solaris pkg format, but I'm not sure how
much of a problem you would have installing the package on your Solaris
2.6 system (might not have a problem if you're up-to-date with the
recommended patch cluster).

I have built syslog-ng on a development server (Solaris 9) and now wish
to install it on another system which doesn't have development tools (it
is a fairly standard Solaris 9 installation.)

I will also be installing a Solaris 2.6 build on systems in our DMZ
which have been hardened and have very little other than the OS.

The problem I have struck is that after copying the built source to the
target server, "make install" fails with the following error:

# make install
Making install in src
Making install in .
make: Fatal error: Don't know how to make target
`/usr/local/src/syslog-ng-1.4.15/configure.in'
Current working directory /export/home/syslog-ng-1.4.15/src
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `install-recursive'
Current working directory /export/home/syslog-ng-1.4.15/src
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `install-recursive'

Any ideas on how I get around this easily?  NFS is one option, but will
not be for the DMZ systems (and is not used in production on any systems
here.)  I suppose I could install it on the development server using a
filesystem diff before and after trick I have used in the past, but
again there are problems doing this with the Solaris 2.6 build (which
has to be done on a production server as I don't have a Solaris 2.6 dev
machine any more.)
