Compile Bro in OpenBSD 5.2

Hi all,

I’m trying to compile Bro in OpenBSD 5.2. Unfortunately, several errors stop me. The following are logs. Anyone can give some quick advise? I appreciate your comments.

Thanks,

<sys/types.h> is supposed to be included before <sys/socket.h>, and I think OpenBSD is being sensitive about places that don't do that in Bro's code. Could you try the patch below and let me know if it helps?

diff --git a/src/bro_inet_ntop.h b/src/bro_inet_ntop.h

Yes, it works! Thank you, Jon!
