snort 2.3.1 and 2.3.2 compile errors
Posted by rickb on March 11, 2005 02:48:40
inline.c: In function `RejectLayer2':
inline.c:557: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
when configured w/
./configure --enable-inline --with-libpcap-includes=/usr/include --with-libpcap-libraries=/usr/lib --with-postgresql=/usr/local/pgsql --with-libpq-includes=/usr/local/pgsql/include --with-libpq-libraries=/usr/local/pgsql/lib --with-libipq-includes=/usr/include/libipq --with-libipq-libraries=/usr/lib
compiles happily w/these options on 2.3.0, but 2.3.1 and 2.3.2 both error out.
diff'ing inline.c from all 3 versions yields no differences. Odd. |

Can you read your BUGS file and give us a full report (with things like platform, etc)?

System Architecture: x86 (Dell PowerEdge 1650)
Operating System and version: Linux 2.4.27-1 (Debian)
Version of Snort: 2.3.2
none of these apply, since compilation failed :)
What preprocessors you loaded
What rules (if any) you were using
What output plug-ins you loaded
What command line switches you were using
Any Snort error messages
other useful version info:
# autoconf --version
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.59
# automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.4-p6
Libnet-1.0.2a
# gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-8)
following the recommendation of "make distclean && aclocal && autoconf && automake" yields a bunch of:
automake: src/preprocessors/HttpInspect/utils/Makefile.am: not supported: source file `../include/hi_ad.h' is in subdirectory
.
.
automake: src/preprocessors/HttpInspect/user_interface/Makefile.am: not supported: source file `../include/hi_util_xmalloc.h' is in subdirectory
and "make still fails":
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I.. -I../src -I../src/sfutil\ -I/usr/include/pcap -I../src/output-plugins -I../src/detection-plugins\ -I../src/preprocessors -I../src/preprocessors/flow\ -I../src/preprocessors/portscan -I../src/preprocessors/flow/int-snort\ -I../src/preprocessors/HttpInspect/include -I/usr/local/pgsql/include\ -DENABLE_POSTGRESQL -I/usr/include/libipq -I/usr/local/include -g -O2 -Wall\ -DGIDS -DLIBNET_LIL_ENDIAN -c inline.c

well.... I cheated. I copied Makefile.* from snort-2.3.0/src to snort-2.3.2/src and it worked.. and I'm too lazy to figure out why :P |

same issue with 2.3.3, same fix. copy the makefiles from 2.3.1
My questions must now be, why was the formatting of the makefiles changed? |

So I finally got around to looking at this again, in a more thorough way than just copying Makefiles around. Still not as thorough as I should be, but adding a
structure definition such as:
struct ether_addr
{
u_char ether_addr_octet[6];
};
fixed my problem. |
