[syslog-ng] Error trying to use kafka-c

[Ronald Fenner]

I'm trying to switch from the java version of kafka to the c version and have built syslog with the following config:
./configure --prefix=/opt/syslog-ng --enable-json --enable-python --with-python=2.7 --enable-kafka

However when I try syntax check the config it's returning this error:
Error parsing destination statement, destination plugin kafka-c not found in block destination kafka() at /opt/syslog-ng/share/syslog-ng/include/scl/kafka/kafka.conf:24:4:5-4:12:

30      };

35---->         topic("syslog-ng-`DeployedEnvironment`")
36---->     );
37      };
38


The top of my config looks like this
@version: 3.28
@include "scl.conf"
@include "conf.d/gc-parsers.conf"
@define kafka-implementation kafka-c

Everything looks correct just not sure why it's having a hard time finding it.
