[syslog-ng] rpmbuild on centos6

[Hajdu Tamás Márk]

Hi everyone!

I wanted to build rpm-s from syslog-ng (and maintain it in the future).
I've using eventlog_0.2.12 (from source) which builds with some fiddling, but syslog-ng_3.3.3 (also from source) won't build.

[rpmbuilder at svn ~]$ rpmbuild -ta rpmbuild/SOURCES/syslog-ng_3.3.3.tar.gz 
error: File /home/fathom/rpmbuild/SOURCES/ivykis-0.21.tar.gz: No such file or directory

I have not found anything like ivykis in the .spec file, but I have downloaded it:

[rpmbuilder at svn ~]$ rpmbuild -ta rpmbuild/SOURCES/syslog-ng_3.3.3.tar.gz
error: line 135: second %prep

Somehow it makes one spec file from the syslog-ng spec and the ivykis spec file...

I tried to other way as well. Building it from the spec file cries for dependencies, including libevtlog and libnet-devel. The first is ok, but I do not really want to install that on the rpm building system, but the second one is totally missing from centos6.

Has anyone some clues about this? 
It would be a pain in the ass to manually install/update everywhere.
