Hi, I've made an attempt to fix this bug. There are changed header files of libprelude, as well as some type name changes. an incomplete patch attached.
I didn't succeed in fixing the build, however, it stops at:

This, IMHO, is caused by missing declaration of plugin_container_t,
which most probably has changed its name. Unfortunately I couldn't
figure out what the new name is. I post the patch and these thoughts
here so somebody else may pick up from here.
On a side note, upstream site of prelude says[1] that prelude-nids is
deprecated and users should switch to snort. Given this, and the severe
build failure, maybe it is not such a bad idea to remove prelude-nids
from archive?
Kind regards,
dam
