Please do not mix functional changes with whitespace changes. It makes it hard to evaluate the changes you are proposing and makes your patch much less likely to be committed.

[jul_bsd@…]

the first patch is without spaces changes. the second got refinements from the remarks I got from other tickets and over time, so you can check them separately. After, I think, it's better to share the most advanced changeset else it suspends too many things for other people who could be interested by the whole update.

I would be more interested on the technical error solving for now.

[jul_bsd@…]

opened a ticket in balabit github ​https://github.com/balabit/syslog-ng/issues/173

syslog-ng has posted instructions for compiling for macOS, see:

​https://syslog-ng.gitbooks.io/getting-started/content/chapters/chapter_0/section_3.html

Latest released is 3.16.1.

It would be great to have this working in MacPorts again.
