Hi,
Is syslog-ng available for OpenSolaris, through IPS or otherwise?  If
I were to build it, is there an "easy" metapackage for the build
system, maybe analogous to Red Hat's rpmbuild+dependencies or Debian's
"build-essential" metapackage?
   
I'm running syslog-ng-2.0.5, and it was essentially a no-brainer.  Just

./configure CC=cc CFLAGS=-O
make
make install

> ./config.status --version
config.status
configured by ./configure, generated by GNU Autoconf 2.61,
  with options "'CC=cc' 'CFLAGS=-O'"

I knocked up an SMF service for it.  (I just copied the standard syslog 
files and tweaked them.) XML and script attached.

Cheers,

Rob
