PF_RING DAQ with Snort 2.9.3 compile errors

Hello, I posted this earlier to the ntop-misc mailing list, but it occurred to me that it might be worthwhile to pose this question to a wider audience within the Snort community. I am trying to build the current PF_RING DAQ module from SVN trunk, and after fixing a typo in the configure.ac file (it was searching for libpcap.a and libpfring.a in hard-coded locations instead of honoring the paths passed in to ./configure), I am encountering errors when compiling against the DAQ 1.1.1 library that ships with Snort 2.9.3. The relevant messages from gcc are as follows: daq_pfring.c: In function 'pfring_daq_acquire': daq_pfring.c:577:10: error: 'DAQ_PktHdr_t' has no member named 'device_index' daq_pfring.c: In function 'pfring_daq_inject': daq_pfring.c:669:39: error: 'DAQ_PktHdr_t' has no member named 'device_index' Looking at the daq_common.h header file from the DAQ 1.1.1 distribution, it appears that the "device_index" field has been split out into "ingress_index" and "egress_index": typedef struct _daq_pkthdr { struct timeval ts; /* Timestamp */ uint32_t caplen; /* Length of the portion present */ uint32_t pktlen; /* Length of this packet (off wire) */ int32_t ingress_index; /* Index of the inbound interface. */ int32_t egress_index; /* Index of the outbound interface. */ int32_t ingress_group; /* Index of the inbound group. */ int32_t egress_group; /* Index of the outbound group. */ uint32_t flags; /* Flags for the packet (DAQ_PKT_FLAG_*) */ uint32_t opaque; /* Opaque context value from the DAQ module or underlying hardware. Directly related to the opaque value in FlowStats. */ void *priv_ptr; /* Private data pointer */ } DAQ_PktHdr_t; Before I go too deep down this rabbit-hole, are there any planned fixes or workarounds for this issue?
