[syslog-ng] compiling problems --enable-mongodb --enable-json --enable-redis

[Nicolas Fédou]

Hi,
I made a binary rpm from sources'rpm of syslog-ng-3.5.4.1 For a rhel 6.x.
I had two issues :
1_ removing things I don't want or doesn't compile as geoip and others
2_ backporting to an old filesystem < 3.

Recent syslog-ng are made for a rhel's filesystem v3.x, where rhel 6.x is
un v2.x
In short and from memory, it simply moves /lib to /usr/lib and same For
/bin.
I had to set some variable on my spec file and remove dependency to
filesystem v3.x.
Variables are like :
Prefix=/
Libdir=/lib
Execdir=/bin

In holidays, I am away from keyboard. So all this is only pointing a
direction for you and from memory.

Regards, Nicolas.
