Re: Snort SO Compiler

[Patrick Mullen <pmullen () sourcefire com>]

Shared Object rules have their own makefile.  Build snort and save the
resultant directory tree.  Update the SO Makefile to point to that
directory and set the proper version and make should work fine.

The build process will automatically dump the stub rules files in the same
directory as your build.  Those are the files to copy to be loaded by snort
somewhere and the shared object files need to be placed in the directory
specified in your snort.conf.

Thanks,

Patrick
We are looking at how to compile the rules into SOs to distribute them to
our snort instances. The docs are hard to follow and it seems like whatever
process that is available is not working for us at the moment.

Is there a concise guide? Does snort, itself, dump the rules into SOs? Or
does it only dump the SOs that were initially loaded into snort?

Hope this is not too confusing.

Thanks,
Rob.
