Re: 'make' Snort to compile my own preprocessor

          '' To do what you want would require adding the appropriate C++ rules to configure.in''
So, is this frustrating? Could you help me with this? Except this step, the others don't seem so much difficult..or am 
i not seeing this clear :p ???!!! Nevertheless, i would like to try and compile it and see what happens. If the 
compilation succeeds but in the end i'm not capable to make my preprocessor work, i will consider the Starter Kit 
option.
thanks.

Hi Alex, the error you are receiving is due to trying to use C++. The Snort build system is only configured to compile 
C. To do what you want would require adding the appropriate C++ rules to configure.in, however writing Snort 
preprocessors in C++ would be a fairly optimistic for someone new to C/C++.

I would recommend you start with the "Dynamic Prerocessor Starter Kit" 
(http://www.snort.org/snort-downloads/dynamic-preprocessor-starter-kit/). This package provides a "bare-bones" 
preprocessor that can be compiled outside of the Snort root-source directory.

Hi to all,
i'm trying to write my own preprocessor for Snort. My guide was the Write my own preprocessor from 'Syngress Snort 
2.1,May 2004' which is a little bit old and do not know if this is the way to do it. So, i included my preproc header 
file in plugbase.c, i inserted the Setup() function, i added my preproc source files to snort/src/preproc/Makefile.am. 
My source files are in c++, using Ubuntu12.04.


Then, when i do 'make' i get the following error:
preprocessors/my_preproc.hpp:23:20 fatal error: iostream: No such file or directory.
compilation terminated. 

I suppose it's because of the gcc and make, but how can i fix this? I'm new to c/c++ and linux...Thanks, Alex.
