Re: request for changes to compile snort in Solaris

["Castle, Shane" <scastle () bouldercounty org>]

I am not one of the Snort developers, but I have some experience and an opinion on this topic, so here goes.

I could not get earlier versions of Snort to compile correctly on Solaris. Period. If it successfully finished the make 
process, the resulting file(s) would not run correctly. So, I don't run Solaris any more.

YMMV but I gave up.

Subject: [Snort-devel] request for changes to compile snort in Solaris

Howdy:

just went through compiling snort 2.9.2 for solaris sparc and wanted to make a request to make the necessary changes so 
that 'configure' will work.

as you can probably deduce, I'm no developer... googling found this link..

http://bookmarklust.blogspot.com/2011/11/snort-2912-on-solaris-10x86.html

followed the instructions (to add #include "sf_types.h" to a bunch of files..)  and it seemed to work..   compiled  and 
created a binary.  :-)

is there a way that this can be done with autoconf?   (configure) on solaris?


thanks.


Luis
