Re: libdaq configure error in cross compiling

Hi Elison--

Where does pcap.h reside?  Directly in /home/elison/arm_install/include
or /home/elison/arm_install/include/pcap?

What about libpcap.a?

It would be helpful to look through the config.log that results from
using the daq configure script... This will help identify whether it is
a path issue, or something else.

Cheers.

Hi,

I am trying to cross compile libdaq using arm-linux-gcc but configure fails

"checking for pcap_lib_version... checking for pcap_lib_version in
-lpcap... (cached) no

    ERROR!  Libpcap library version>= 1.0.0 not found.
    Get it from http://www.tcpdump.org";

I did download libpcap and followed these steps:
cd libpcap-1.1
./configure --prefix=/home/elison/arm_install --with-pcap=getad.c
--host=arm-linux
make FSRC=fad-getad.c PSRC=pcap-linux.c
make FSRC=fad-getad.c PSRC=pcap-linux.c install

I then have the pcap libraries for arm in /home/elison/arm_install.

Then I try to build libdaq :

cd daq-0.6.1
./configure --prefix=/home/elison/arm_install \
--with-libpcap-includes=/home/elison/arm_install/include \
--with-libpcap-libraries=/home/elison/arm_install/lib \
--host=arm-linux

It fails with
"checking for pcap_lib_version... checking for pcap_lib_version in
-lpcap... (cached) no

    ERROR!  Libpcap library version>= 1.0.0 not found.
    Get it from http://www.tcpdump.org";

What is possibly wrong ? I sense it's some bug with the ./configure script.
I can build snort from source for x86 and want to do it now for arm
but am stuck at libdaq.

Thanks,
Elison
