RE: installing 2.1.0 on Solaris 8 - problems & solu tions

["Peters, Michael D." <Michael.Peters () acbl net>]

Those changes did work on my Solaris 9 build. I did however need to simplify
my config to ./configure  --with-snmp --with-mysql --with-openssl because it
complained when I included the ssl and mysql directories.

Thanks again.

Best regards,

Michael

This is from an earlier post. I think it will work for solaris 9 as
well.

Hi

I am a newbie to Snort and was trying to make 2.1.0 on Solaris. I landed
into 3 problems while doing make and got solutions for them (mostly by
browsing the archives). Compiled below are all the errors I got and how
I resolved them.

Thanks,

1. Following compilation error was thrown for a few files.

        In file included from util_net.c:16:
        util_net.h:14:20: stdint.h: No such file or directory
        make[3]: *** [util_net.o] Error 1
        make[3]: Leaving directory
`/home/subrama/sdi/snort-2.1.0/src/sfutil'
        make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
        make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/subrama/sdi/snort-2.1.0/src'
        make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
        make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/subrama/sdi/snort-2.1.0'
        make: *** [all] Error 2

The compiler was unable to locate the header file stdint. Solaris
doesn't have this file in the include directories under /usr. On
searching via google, I came to know that we can use sys/int_types.h
file instead. So, I edited the following files and replaced the
inclusions of <stdint.h> with <sys/int_types.h>.
  src/event_wrapper.h
  src/preprocessors/flow/flow.h
  src/preprocessors/flow/flow_stat.h
  src/preprocessors/flow/portscan/flowps.h
  src/sfutil/util_net.h
  src/win32/WIN32-Includes/rpc/auth.h
  src/win32/WIN32-Includes/rpc/types.h
  src/win32/WIN32-Includes/config.h
After this, the error doesn't occur.


2. The following linker error was thrown :

        make[3]: Entering directory `/home/subrama/sdi/snort-2.1.0/src'
        gcc  -g -O2 -Wall  -L/home/subrama/lib -lpcre -o snort  codes.o

        ld: elf error: file preprocessors/flow/int-snort/libintsnort.a:

        ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to snort
        collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
        make[3]: *** [snort] Error 1
        make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/subrama/sdi/snort-2.1.0/src'
        make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
        make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/subrama/sdi/snort-2.1.0/src'
        make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
        make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/subrama/sdi/snort-2.1.0'
        make: *** [all] Error 2

I applied the following solution which I got from
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=snort-devel&m=107200448326026&w=2

    % /usr/ccs/bin/ar -ts src/preprocessors/flow/int-snort/libintsnort.a
    flow_packet.o
    %

After this, the error vanished.


3. Next, I encountered the following linker error:

        make[3]: Entering directory `/home/subrama/sdi/snort-2.1.0/src'
        gcc  -g -O2 -Wall  -L/home/subrama/lib -lpcre -o snort  codes.o

        inet_aton                           sfutil/libsfutil.a(ipobj.o)
        ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to snort
        collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
        make[3]: *** [snort] Error 1
        make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/subrama/sdi/snort-2.1.0/src'
        make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
        make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/subrama/sdi/snort-2.1.0/src'
        make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
        make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/subrama/sdi/snort-2.1.0'
        make: *** [all] Error 2

I got a solution from
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=snort-devel&m=99478130116314&w=2
According to the solution, I had to add some options to $LIBS. For this,
I edited the configure file and added the following line just after the
definition of INCLUDES.
  LIBS="$LIBS -lresolv"
I ran the configure script & then the make script.
Now, the error vanishes.
