Re: Compiling Snort for MySQL

[Chris Keladis <Chris.Keladis () cmc cwo net au>]

Hi,

Doing some prodding in the configure script, it seems it looks for
mysql.h in the following directories by default:

/usr/include
/usr/include/mysql
/usr/local/include
/usr/local/include/mysql

If you've downloaded a tar'ed binary image such as those available on
www.mysql.com you can simply pass the untar'ed path to the --with-mysql
option and it should compile ok.




HIH,

Chris.
