[syslog-ng] Compiling Github Source (not Balabit source)

[Sandor Geller]

Hello!

Without seeing any logs we couldn't really help as nobody except you 
knows how your system looks like. Having said that let do some guessing...

You need a few tools (autoconf, libtool for example) installed and then 
you can just run autogen.sh which will take care of the heavy lifting of 
cloning submodules, running libtoolize, autoconf, ...

configure could still fail when any of the required components is 
missing but if you were able to compile a recent point release then it 
isn't likely, especially when you choose (checkout) the matching tag 
instead of building the master branch.

If you run into trouble then please report back with the exact details.

hth,

Sandor
