Compiling question

Posted by mangood on March 17, 2005 01:28:06

Hi to all.
I'm in process of snort installation. I want to configure it with mysql support. When I try to compile it with --with-mysql option I end up missing mysql.h file. When I do this using --enable-mysql everything looks ok.
My question is what is difference between --with-mysql and --enable-mysql.
Thanks in advance

--enable-mysql is not a valid configure option and is being ignored. You have to use --with-mysql. You can get the necessary headers and library files for snor tto compile mysql support by going to mysql.com and downloading and installing the client and devel tools from the downloads section. After you install these, it should eliminate youe error when using --with-mysql.
