I have always added -static to the snort_LDFLAGS variable in snort-x.xx/src/Makefile. Like this: snort_LDFLAGS = -static I cannot find that variable in snort-2.2.0 anymore, so I guess you would just add it to the LDFLAGS variable. -----Original Message----- From: snort-users-admin () lists sourceforge net [mailto:snort-users-admin () lists sourceforge net] On Behalf Of William Fitzgerald Sent: Tuesday, February 15, 2005 8:30 AM To: 'Senthil Prabu.S'; snort-users () lists sourceforge net Subject: RE: [Snort-users] QUERY:Building snort statically Hi all again, I thought a little about my second question. I don't think I need to switch compilers. I done the follwing instead introducing the --host switch. Here is what I done for libpcre: ./configure --host=i386 Make Make install Here is what I done for libpcap: ./configure --host=i386 Make Make install Here is what I done for snort-2.1.1: /configure --prefix=/home/j0n/apdevel/cqureap/rootfs/usr/idsdev/snort --host=i386 --enable-wireless Make I wont make install yet. So it all compiled fine ;-) Now I guess I need to re-do snort to compile staticly. Again Question 1 from previous mail still stands. Here it is again: QUESTION: STATIC COMPILE: Do I just temporarily rename all the files in /usr/local/lib and re-run the above commands? Wont it not complain about finding those libraries? Must I also edit the configure file? Senthil sorry about this, I am just not sure what you meant in step [1] from previous mail.

BELOW ARE " QUESTIONS. First, let me tell you some more. I am currently compiling snort-2.1.1 on an Linux i686. I will eventually be copying the snort binary to a Linux i386 machine running uClibc compiler (embedded Linux system). Since snort requires libpcre and libpcap I will need to statically compile them into snort. I believe the other libraries snort uses are provided by uClibc. The i686 gcc compiler is: gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-suse-linux/3.3.3/specs Configured with: ../configure --enable-threads=posix --prefix=/usr --with-local-prefix=/usr/local --infodir=/usr/share/info --mandir=/usr/share/man --enable-languages=c,c++,f77,objc,java,ada --disable-checking --libdir=/usr/lib --enable-libgcj --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/g++ --with-slibdir=/lib --with-system-zlib --enable-shared --enable-__cxa_atexit i586-suse-linux I install libpcre and libpcap based on this. I ran the snort configure as follows with the host option: ./configure --prefix=/home/j0n/apdevel/cqureap/rootfs/usr/idsdev/snort --host=i386 --enable-wireless Then I did: Make QUESTION: STATIC COMPILE: Do I just temporarily rename all the files in /usr/local/lib and re-run the above commands? Wont it not complain about finding those libraries? Must I also edit the configure file? Senthil sorry about this, I am just not sure what you meant in step [1] from previous mail. QUESTION: CHOICE OF COMPILER: I wonder should I have installed libpcre, libpcap and snort on a different compiler. That is: Export PATH=/uClibc:$PATH Then ./configure, make, make install for both libpcre, libpcap And for snort: ./configure --prefix=/home/j0n/apdevel/cqureap/rootfs/usr/idsdev/snort --host=i386 --enable-wireless Regards, Will. -----Original Message----- From: Senthil Prabu.S [mailto:prabu333 () hotpop com] Sent: 15 February 2005 13:02 To: wfitzgerald () tssg org; snort-users () lists sourceforge net Subject: Re: [Snort-users] QUERY:Building snort statically Hi, I am using snort (statically build on my HP-UX machine). Have also tried on Linux machines. Steps involved in building Snort statically; [1]. For time being, move the shared version of snort dependecy libraries, such that compiler can only look for static depedency libraries. For ex: this can be done by moving the shared libary, /usr/local/lib/libpcre.so to /usr/local/lib/libpcre.so_. Like this do for all dependecy products.There is no source code change required to build snort statically. [After completing your snort build, dont forget to revoke the changes done to shared libraries]. [2]. If you are building snort with mysql and postgres support, then you will face errors as "Unsatisfied symbol". Bez, mysql and postgresmysql libraries looks for shared version of SSL libraries, by default. Then, do the following changes in configure script, to fix it, File: snort-2.2.3/configure before: LIBS="${LIBS} -lmysqlclient" after: LIBS="${LIBS} -lmysqlclient -lkrb5 -lssl -lcrypto" File: snort-2.2.3/configure before: LIBS="${LIBS} -lpq" after: LIBS="${LIBS} -lpq -lkrb5 -lssl -lcrypto". Also only when using mysql or postgresql, you will be in need of OpenSSL. NOTE: I have build snort-2.3.0 statically with flexresp,mysql,postgresql support. In this scenario, following are the list of dependecy products. If you are going to build snort with above options, move the shared libraries of following; MySQL 4.0.21 PostgreSQL 7.4.5 OpenSSL A.00.09.07 Libnet 1.0.2a Pcre 4.4 Libpcap 0.8.3 Zlib 1.1.4 P.S: I have not tried snort with inline support. Hope this helps,if you are in trouble plz write to me. -- Senthil Prabu.S If you are smart enough to know that you're not smart enough to be an Engineer, then you're in Business. _________________________________________________________________
Dear all, I want to build snort statically. What is the procedure/steps to do this? I want to be able to migrate the snort wireless binary t an embedded system. If anyone can help or point me in the right direction that would be fantastic. It will need quite a few libraries as can be seen from the ldd command
below. I am using snort-2.1.1 so I can have snort wireless logging. ldd -v src/snort linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000) libpcre.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libpcre.so.0 (0x40029000) libpcap.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpcap.so.0 (0x40036000) libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0x40059000) libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x4007b000) libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x40090000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000) Version information: src/snort: libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.1) => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.3) => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.0) => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 /usr/local/lib/libpcre.so.0: libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.1.3) => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.3) => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.0) => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 /usr/lib/libpcap.so.0: libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.1) => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.3) => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.1.3) => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.0) => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 /lib/tls/libm.so.6: ld-linux.so.2 (GLIBC_PRIVATE) => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.1.3) => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.0) => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 /lib/libnsl.so.1: libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.1.3) => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.2) => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.2.3) => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.0) => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.1) => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 /lib/tls/libc.so.6: ld-linux.so.2 (GLIBC_2.1) => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 ld-linux.so.2 (GLIBC_2.3) => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 ld-linux.so.2 (GLIBC_2.0) => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 ld-linux.so.2 (GLIBC_PRIVATE) => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 Regards, Will.
