I'm having some difficulties building the latest Bro 2.0beta on OS X Lion. Bro = v 2.0-beta-47 OS = OS X 10.7.2 Gcc = v i686-apple-darwin11-llvm-gcc-4.2 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2335.15.00) Cmake = 2.8.6 It fails when building netflow\_pac.cc.o . Log snippet below. I can provide the full screen output/log if necessary. Any ideas/recommendations are welcome. 🙂 #### Log #### \ ====================| Bro Build Summary |===================== Install prefix: /usr/local/bro.git Bro Script Path: /usr/local/bro.git/share/bro Debug mode: false CFLAGS: -Wall -Wno-unused -O2 -g CXX: /usr/bin/c++ CXXFLAGS: -Wall -Wno-unused -O2 -g CPP: /usr/bin/c++ Broccoli: true Broctl: true Aux.

That's a file generated by BinPAC which depends on flex and bison, maybe there's a clue in those netflow\_pac.cc and netflow\_pac.h files if you could send them.

> Here's the build log snippet after adding the code you suggested: The errors look even funkier now -- when you added code to net\_flow.pac, was it just the two new lines in the %extern block or did you add a whole other block?

> /DG/BUILD/bro/build/src/netflow\_pac.h:14: error: ‘EventMgr’ does not name a type Ok, I think header files are getting overshadowed somewhere (if you do `make VERBOSE=1`, you can see the order of -I options given to the compiler and look in those directories for Event.h, Type.h, etc.). I'd like to try another change; at the top of src/CMakeLists.txt there's: include\_directories(\{CMAKE\_CURRENT\_SOURCE\_DIR\}                     {CMAKE\_CURRENT\_BINARY\_DIR} ) Change it to be the following ("BEFORE" is the only difference): include\_directories(BEFORE                     \{CMAKE\_CURRENT\_SOURCE\_DIR\}                     {CMAKE\_CURRENT\_BINARY\_DIR} ) +Jon ---

That change (BEFORE in src/CMakeLists.txt) did the trick. The build completed successfully. To be sure, I made a fresh clone of the bro git repo, tried to build without changing src/CMakeLists.txt, and the build failed. Then I made the change to src/CMakeLists.txt, and the build succeeded. No mod to netflow.pac in either build attempt. I still wonder what is out of the ordinary on my system. I'll check into it further when I get the chance. Thanks for your help Jon! ---

Then I made the change to src/CMakeLists.txt, and the build succeeded. No mod to netflow.pac in either build attempt. Thanks for confirming that. I'm going to get that change into the git repo since that's a "righter" way to order the include directories anyway. > I still wonder what is out of the ordinary on my system. I'll check into it further when I get the chance. I'm guessing you had built/installed some software locally (/usr/local, /opt/local, or /sw) that provided headers of the same name as what Bro needed (Event.h, Type.h) and so the compiler picked up those. Not that it's "wrong", just different. +Jon ---
