Snort compilation

[Daniel Walther <daniel.walther () telscom ch>]

Hi list

I've tried to compile snort with LDFLAGS=-static. I wanted to compile snort
with database support.
But unfortunately I won't work.
I've tired it with --with-postgresql.
If I try it without LDFLAGS=-static, then it works.

I receive the following errors when I call make:

- with postgresql

Is there any chance to compile it with this LDFLAGS and database support? I
need to compile it this way, because it will run on a mini Linux.

I tried it with snort-2.1.1 with the wireless patch.

I hope anyone can help me.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards
Daniel
