[syslog-ng] Not finding header files in syslog-ng-3.25.1 as compared to syslog-ng-3.6.2

[Peter Kokai (pkokai)]

Hello,

There is no dev doc about it, as you might noticed. Probably no replace that with this answer exists.
Luckily git remembers: git log --follow -p -- <path>

git log --follow -p -- modules/dbparser/patterndb-int.h

    dbparser: get rid off patterndb-int.h

    As we have the broken-down header files, this is not needed anymore.

This commit might gave you a hint, which headers it was replaced with.

Alternative idea: simply check which header provides the function you need.

git log --follow -p -- src/tags.h

    separate directory hierarchy into lib/, modules/ and syslog-ng/

    It was more and more cumbersome to compile syslog-ng during development, since
    a core change always recompiled (or just relinked) the modules as well
    even when that was not strictly necessary. (make install in src/)

    This patch reorganizes the directory hierarchy, lib is where the core lives
    modules where plugins are and syslog-ng is where the main program resides.

The change here more simple, just moving the actual file. (Note tags.h was moved twice since your version, and now it is under lib/logmsg/)
