This is required but you may need to use /lib64/pkgconfig/ now.
There is no plan at this time to change DAQ to cmake. Are you just curious or is there a specific concern?//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Additional question -> will DAQ go to cmake in the future? Will DAQ move to cmake in the future?
Install should be using your prefix. Maybe this broke with the recent use of GNUInstallDirs. However, we build and test using prefix all the time and it is working here, but we probably never tried /. I wouldn't expect it to matter, but what happens if you use some other path?//------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Install location of snort binary seems offWhen I run configure_cmake.sh and specify the prefix path as the root of the drive (--prefix=/), most of the files are installed where you'd expect (/etc/snort, et cetera), however the snort binary is placed in /usr/bin/snort, this is different than previous installations, where setting the prefix to the root of the drive would install the snort binary to the /bin directory. is this a bug or by design?
