[syslog-ng] ./configure: line 6998: --defines: command not found

[Mr. James W. Laferriere]

 	Hello All ,  THis one is kind of interesting .  ./configure seems to 
have a variable that remains or becomes null .  dug it out ...

$ grep -n . ./configure | grep -C3 -n 6998
6267-6995:                LIBNET_CONFIG=$with_libnet/libnet-config
6268-6996:        fi
6269-6997:        if test -x $LIBNET_CONFIG; then
6270:6998:                LIBNET_CFLAGS="`$LIBNET_CONFIG --defines`"
6271-6999:                LIBNET_LIBS="`$LIBNET_CONFIG --libs`"
6272-7000:                { echo "$as_me:$LINENO: result: yes" >&5
6273-7001:echo "${ECHO_T}yes" >&6; }


 	Commandling used for ./configure
$ LDFLAGS="-static" PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH}:../eventlog-0.2.5" ./configure --enable-static-linking --enable-tcp-wrapper --enable-spoof-source
