RE: QUERY:Building snort statically

["William Fitzgerald" <wfitzgerald () tssg org>]

Hi Senthil,

Again thanks for the speedy response.

I will take on board what you and Joshua have said.
I am running snort-2.1.1 and not snort-2.3.0 so the makefile in the src
directory is different.

(1)So first I will rename all the /usr/local/lib files temporarily.
(Senthil)
(2)make libraries static: LDFLAGS =  -static -L/usr/local/lib -lpcre
(Joshua)
(3)I reckon I must also as -static as follows: CFLAGS = -g -O2 -Wall
-DWIRELESS -static in the makefile also.
What do you think about (3)?

Regards,
Will

Hi William,
         As Joshnu said, plz make the following change in the
src/Makefile along with the changes that I mentioned in my first mail.
This would not only build snort with static dependent libraries, but
aslo a static version of snort 
binary.

No, you are wrong, here LDFLAGS is defined to look for the path of
libprce library. Also in snort-2.1.1, under src/Makefile, I am able to
find the 
snort_LDFLAGS
The details and modificaton is given below. Also this flag is available
in 
snort-2.3.0.

File : src/Makefile
Line Number: 161

BEFORE:
        preprocessors/flow/libflow.a parser/libparser.a \
        preprocessors/HttpInspect/libhttp_inspect.a sfutil/libsfutil.a
snort_LDFLAGS =

      DEFS = -DHAVE_CONFIG_H
      DEFAULT_INCLUDES =  -I. -I$(srcdir) -I$(top_builddir)

AFTER:
        preprocessors/flow/libflow.a parser/libparser.a \
        preprocessors/HttpInspect/libhttp_inspect.a sfutil/libsfutil.a
snort_LDFLAGS = -lstatic

      DEFS = -DHAVE_CONFIG_H
      DEFAULT_INCLUDES =  -I. -I$(srcdir) -I$(top_builddir)
