RE: What 1.9.x versions work with MSSQL?

["Michael Steele" <michaels () silicondefense com>]

Jarrett,

- What does CVS stand for?

Concurrent Versions System

- If someone says "Get the latest CVS" does that mean to get the latest
"snapshot" from www.snort.org?

You need to use a Client GUI is available from: http://www.cvsgui.org/
to extract the files from the CVS tree. There are others, like WinCVS
that will work. The Snort CVS is located at http://sourceforge.net/

- When compiling, how do you configure snort for MSSQL on a Windows
system?

On Visual C++ there is a build pull down that will allow you to build
any one of the different versions of Snort. It’s really very easy with
Microsoft Visual C++.

Hope this helps…

 -Michael

I'd definitely appreciate it.  I feel a little out in the cold, though. 
I mean, I'm certainly not a newbie to most of this stuff, but there are
so many things that make me feel like one.  For example:  
- What does CVS stand for?
- If someone says "Get the latest CVS" does that mean to get the latest
"snapshot" from www.snort.org?
- When compiling, how do you configure snort for MSSQL on a Windows
system?
 
I appreciate you offering to compile that for me on Monday.  It will be
a big help :D

> From Silicon Defense.  When I asked Roman Danyliw about it, I got this
response:
 
"There were a couple of bugs in detecting the presence of MS-SQL Server
in the
release of Snort 1.9.  These bugs have been addressed in CVS.  Update
and
manually rebuild snort, or wait for a binary release.

Roman"
 
I compiled the latest Snapshot version from www.snort.org using Visual
C++, but I have no clue how to compile it with the MSSQL support it
needs.  So, I've had to go back to 1.8.7 for now :\

Jarret?

Where did you get the precompiled MSSQL versions of 1.9.x snort?

Subject: [Snort-users] What 1.9.x versions work with MSSQL?

Any of the precompiled MSSQL versions of 1.9.x I've tried are bugged  :(
 
Does anyone out there know of a precompiled 1.9.x version for Windows
that definitely does work with MSSQL?
 
If not, could someone give me any hints as to how to compile snort with
MSSQL support using Visual C++?  I downloaded and compiled one of the
latest snapshots from www.snort.org , but I have no idea on how to use
the configure script using "--with-mssql" switch it refers to.
 
Any help would be appreciated since this 1.8.7 version is annoying me :D
