Re: Snort missing C99 patch

[Terry John <Terry.John () completeautomotivesolutions co uk>]

Thanks for that. I had already updated the daq. Sorry I omitted to say that in my original post.

I think I have found a workaround now. I posted it a couple of minutes ago.

cd  /usr/local/include/
rm daq.h  daq_api.h  daq_common.h  sfbpf.h  sfbpf_dlt.h

I think the rpm build should be able to remove previous rpm build files if they are no longer needed. Perhaps this 
hasn't been considered yet.

Sounds like the DAQ library you have is an alpha/beta version, which is what that check was put in to detect (it has 
the new function, but an old version of the struct definition).  If you look at daq_common.h, you should see that the 
DAQ_DP_key_t structure looks like this:

typedef struct _DAQ_DP_key_t {
    uint32_t af;                /* AF_INET or AF_INET6 */
    union {
        struct in_addr src_ip4;
        struct in6_addr src_ip6;
    } sa;
    union {
        struct in_addr dst_ip4;
        struct in6_addr dst_ip6;
    } da;
    uint8_t protocol;           /* TCP or UDP (IPPROTO_TCP or IPPROTO_UDP )*/
    uint16_t src_port;          /* TCP/UDP source port */
    uint16_t dst_port;          /* TCP/UDP destination port */
    uint16_t address_space_id;  /* Address Space ID */
    uint16_t tunnel_type;       /* Tunnel type */
    uint16_t vlan_id;           /* VLAN ID */
    uint16_t vlan_cnots;
} DAQ_DP_key_t;

Note the named 'sa' and 'da' unions.  If it doesn't look like that, you need to update with the final version of libdaq 
2.0.4, which is available on the snort.org website.  I just verified that the src.rpm there has the right version of 
the headers.

I'm trying to update an existing 2.9.6.0 version of snort on Centos 6.5. I was disappointed to see that Snort no longer 
provides RPM's for Centos 6 so I rpmbuilt my own from the src.rpm files.

That daq built ok but the snort still insisted on looking for the old libdnet v 1.11 so I decided to compile from 
source using snort-2.9.7.0.tar.gz .

I did a yum update on the daq and that seems ok. But when I did a ./configure -enable-sourcefire as suggested in the 
setup guide (https://www.snort.org/documents/4) I got the error:

checking for daq_dp_add_dc... yes
checking for struct _DAQ_DP_key_t.sa.src_ip4... no

Thanks
