 Hi,

I am new to snort development.

I have planned to write my own pre-processor. Can you please help me with
the following,

1. Step by step guide to writing own pre-processor.

2. I tried to build the dpx and followed the steps at
http://www.snort.org/snort-downloads/dynamic-preprocessor-starter-kit/but I am stuck with the following errors,

waseem@waseem:~/dpx-1.4$ sudo ./build.sh

It is somehow unable to create the dpx.o. I have changed the access
permissions to 777 of .libs/ and /src but it doesn't help.

Kindly help me with this issue.

Thanks,
Waseem
