Syslog-ng make install should install ivykis headers when using internal ivykis. about syslog-ng

[algernon]

This one is tough, because when using an internal ivykis, we statically link ivykis into libsyslog-ng.so. Furthermore, we do not want to conflict with any possible system-wide ivykis, either.

So, I propose the following:

• When using an internal ivykis, install the headers to ${includedir}/syslog-ng/ivykis, and adjust the CFLAGS in the pkg-config file accordingly.
• Also add a with_internal_ivykis=yes (or no) to the pkg-config file, so that the Incubator can detect whether it wants to search for a system-wide ivykis or not.

This would need only minimal changes in the Incubator (only to configure.ac), and doesn't require much on the syslog-ng side, either.

So when I want to use internal ivykis in incubator, I should add ${includedir}/syslog-ng/ivykis to CFLAGS when with_internal_ivykis is present in syslog-ng.pc. Am I right?

[algernon]

No, CFLAGS will be taken care of by the syslog-ng pkg-config file. What you'll need, though, is to not check for ivykis separately in configure.ac, if with_internal_ivykis=yes is present in syslog-ng.pc.

I'll send a patch once this is done, to make things simple.
