Re: [Snort-users] Problems compiling with --enable-inline on CentOS 5.1

Subject: Re: [Snort-users] Problems compiling with --enable-inline on CentOS 5.1
Date: Thu, 21 Feb 2008 15:34:50 -0500
There is a check in libnet.h:

#if !(__linux__)
#include <netinet/ip_var.h>
#else   /* __linux__ */
#if (HAVE_NET_ETHERNET_H)
#include <net/ethernet.h>
#endif  /* HAVE_NET_ETHERNET_H */
#endif  /* __linux__ */

Just curious what the output is from configuring libnet.  On a 64bit 
Fedora Core 6, I get warnings about being an unsupported OS.  Also, 
HAVE_NET_ETHERNET_H does not get defined.  Not sure why I didn't have 
the same problem.

OK, so I set my libnet-headers.h back the way they were before Todd's 
previously suggested edit, then I tried option 1 below, and it compiled. 
 I will give it a spin and post to the group  after verifying that 
inline works properly.  I anticipate that it will since it compiled 
properly.

Thanks, Todd!

    Two other things to try:

    1) Under your Snort source directory in src/inline.c, try adding the
    following line just under #include <libnet.h>:

    #include <net/ethernet.h>

    If this does not work, try:

    2) In src/inline.h, just under #include "snort.h", try adding the
    following:

    struct ether_addr
    {
         u_char ether_addr_octet[6];
    };

    and see if that works.  Let us know.


    Thanks,
