Re: Snort on Mac OS X 10.2.8: Which version of Snort can I use?

[Todd Wease <twease () sourcefire com>]

Hi Ian,

Ok, we may be getting somewhere - sounds like an autotools issue at this
point. Can you try rebuilding everything:

$ rm -fr snort-2.8.3.1
$ tar xf snort-2.8.3.1.tar.gz
$ cp mac1028.diff snort-2.8.3.1
$ cd snort-2.8.3.1
$ patch -p0 < mac1028.diff
$ glibtoolize --automake --copy
$ aclocal -I m4
$ autoheader
$ automake --add-missing --copy
$ autoconf
$ ./configure <your-configure-options>
$ make

Please copy all output (at least from glibtoolize on) and attach in
response (preferably in a file).
Also please attach the "configure", "config.log", "libtool" and
"aclocal.m4" files that are created (configure and aclocal.m4 will be
regenerated). You could maybe tar output and files up in a directory so
post isn't dreadful to read (or you could send these to me directly).

Also try the same using "glibtoolize --automake --copy --force" starting
from scratch and attach output and "configure", "config.log" and
"libtool" files that are created. (The --force will cause regeneration
of config.guess, config.sub and ltmain.sh - the version of ltmain.sh
provided with the distribution might be the issue.)

If neither of the above compile, try exporting a SED variable as the
first command in the above and retry:
$ which sed
If sed isn't found, make sure sed is in your PATH. (I don't think this
is possible if configure succeeded, but I'm not totally sure.)
$ export SED=`which sed`
Libtool uses sed and alot of the commands using it are of the form
"${SED} -e ..." If SED isn't set, libtool will try to run '-e' as a
command which won't be found. It looks like SED isn't being set for some
reason.

Also, please post the output of the following:
$ glibtoolize --version
$ automake --version
$ autoconf --version

If worse comes to worse, you might need to update these.

Thanks,
Todd
