Hello,

I am trying to get bro working on my system:
$ uname -a
OpenBSD edigarov.sa.net.ua 4.3 GENERIC#0 amd64
$

I am getting the following error.
As Bro is written in C++, and I am not a speciallist in this language (I am a C guy, after all) I am asking you to help:

gmake[4]: Entering directory /usr/home/greg/bro-1.2.1/src' if g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I. -I../src/binpac/lib -I../src -I. -I.. -Ilibedit -O -W -Wall -Wno-unused -g -O2 -MT TCP_Rewriter.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/TCP_Rewriter.Tpo" -c -o TCP_Rewriter.o TCP_Rewriter.cc; \ then mv -f ".deps/TCP_Rewriter.Tpo" ".deps/TCP_Rewriter.Po"; else rm -f ".deps/TCP_Rewriter.Tpo"; exit 1; fi TCP_Rewriter.cc: In member function int TCP_TracePacket::Finish(pcap_pkthdr*&,

Thanks a lot in advance.

Hello everybody,

I can't remember if i compiled directly (aka without tweaks) Bro 1.2.1
on OpenBSD (i'm sure it was not 4.3) but speaking of the last
release of Bro (1.3.2), it works perfectly on the last release of
"puffy".

May i suggest you switch/use 1.3.2 because the
following line remember me to the problems i ran into.

/usr/include/net/bpf.h:129: error: candidates are: bpf_timeval&
bpf_timeval::operator=(const bpf_timeval&)

With regards,

Jean-Philippe.
