RE: Snort 2.4.1 Available

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

Jason,

This is NOT an easy task for the Windows users to do. It is way more
complicated then the *nix compile.

Seeing you offered, I would be very happy for you to write up a step by step
guide on compiling Snort for Windows using the Win32 environment.

Kindest regards,
Michael...

Perhaps I misunderstand the intent of your mail. Is the source not as 
sufficient for windows users to compile as it is for *nix users?

Are there pre compiled versions for *nix and not windows up there? When 
I looked only the src distribution was made available. What is the super 
secret conspiracy location you are using?

The source dist was released early because of the DoS condition and 
binary builds will be available shortly following. If there is something 
I am missing here please let me know.

If anything I think the source only release strongly states that windows 
users are regarded as equals. If you need assistance getting it compiled 
on windows I would be happy to help.

Kindest regards,
Jason...
