-Subject: [PATCH] plugins: kafka: fix cmake cross compile error
-
-KAFKA_INCLUDEDIR is not set if FLB_PREFER_SYSTEM_LIB_KAFKA is not used,
-when cross-compiling, it just translates to -I/librdkafka, which is not allowed.
-Fix this by only including KAFKA_INCLUDEDIR if really set.
-
-x86_64-linux-gcc: ERROR: unsafe header/library path used in cross-compilation: '-I/librdkafka'
-
-Upstream: https://github.com/fluent/fluent-bit/pull/9600
-Signed-off-by: Thomas Devoogdt <thomas@devoogdt.com>
