Trying to compile bro 2.4.1 on linux. After setting up the packages for compile I run the ./configure scriipt and get the following error:

– Looking for include file pthread.h
– Looking for include file pthread.h - found
– Looking for pthread_create
– Looking for pthread_create - not found
– Looking for pthread_create in pthreads
– Looking for pthread_create in pthreads - not found
– Looking for pthread_create in pthread
– Looking for pthread_create in pthread - found
– Found Threads: TRUE
CMake Error at doc/CMakeLists.txt:14 (message):
Problem setting BROPATH

– Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

See also “/home/john/Projects/BRO-IDS/bro-2.4.1/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log”.

After looking at the CMakeError.log file it seems that it’s looking for the pthreads library which is defined by -lpthreads

Can’t find that exact library for posix threads however here are the ones in ubuntu

root@merovingian:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu# aptitude search pthread
i libevent-pthreads-2.0-5 - Asynchronous event notification library (pthreads)
p libevent-pthreads-2.0-5:i386 - Asynchronous event notification library (pthreads)
i libpthread-stubs0-dev - pthread stubs not provided by native libc, development files
p libpthread-stubs0-dev:i386 - pthread stubs not provided by native libc, development files
p libpthread-workqueue-dev - thread pool library (development files)
p libpthread-workqueue-dev:i386 - thread pool library (development files)
p libpthread-workqueue0 - thread pool library
p libpthread-workqueue0:i386 - thread pool library

SO can I adjust CMake to use -lpthread or similar or tell CMake to skip this overall?

HELP please!!!

Could you potentially append or send me the full CMakeError.log?

This is not your problem..

CMake Error at doc/CMakeLists.txt:14 (message):
  Problem setting BROPATH

..this is your problem.

That error comes from doc/CMakeLists.txt where it tries to run ./build/bro-path-dev

What happens when you run

    cmake --version
    ./build/bro-path-dev

It is just a one line shell script that echos a path, so it should not be failing.

Thanks,
Actually Johanna provide a solution to the issue. What you suggested may work as well. However there is something going on when generating a make file for docs. I have also closed out the case with the solution she provided.

Thanks again for your response…
