Hi, Just thought I would note that for several versions of Linux, the compile does not work out of the box. Not just kernel 2.4.20-8. But, this is the one I am going to do some testing on. I will be doing my IDS testing on: 1 - FreeBSD 4.6.2 1 - OpenBSD 2.9 1 - Linux 2.4.20-8 Anyway, the configure goes ok on Linux, but the initial make gets the errors below. I hope they are useful to get the autoconf stuff setup right for the next release. If you can offer where to fix this, I'd be happy. Otherwise, if I get a chance I'd figure that out and send the fix. At first glance it looks like the static use of the linux-includes does not scale past some certain Linux version.

I fixed this by adding: #include \ to the top of util.cc, since that is where uint32\_t is defined on my Linux.... That solved that problem. Then another cropped up in Dict.cc: g++ -I. -Ilibedit -O -Ilinux-include -c Dict.cc Dict.cc: In member function `void\* Dictionary::NextEntry(HashKey\*&,     IterCookie\*&, int) const': Dict.cc:260: choosing `HashKey::HashKey(const void*, int, unsigned int)' over `     HashKey::HashKey(void\*, int, int)' Dict.cc:260: because worst conversion for the former is better than worst     conversion for the latter Dict.cc:288: choosing `HashKey::HashKey(const void*, int, unsigned int)' over `     HashKey::HashKey(void\*, int, int)' Dict.cc:288: because worst conversion for the former is better than worst     conversion for the latter make: \*\*\* [Dict.o] Error 1 This error looks more programatic to fix, so this will take more time. Anyone with thoughts on this one? Tx! Chris ---

Well, i fixed it by doing exactly what the compiler suggests: --- work/bro-pub-0.8a32/Dict.cc Wed Apr 9 08:57:01 2003 +++ /tmp/bro-pub-0.8a32/Dict.cc Thu Jun 26 14:37:51 2003 @@ -257,7 +257,7 @@      entry = (\*ttbl[b])[o];      ++cookie-\>offset;      if ( return\_hash ) - h = new HashKey(entry-\>key, entry-\>len, entry-\>hash); + h = new HashKey((const void \*)entry-\>key, entry-\>len, (unsigned int) entry-\>hash);      return entry-\>value;      } @@ -285,7 +285,7 @@    entry = (\*ttbl[b])[0];    if ( return\_hash ) - h = new HashKey(entry-\>key, entry-\>len, entry-\>hash); + h = new HashKey((const void \*) entry-\>key, entry-\>len, (unsigned int) entry-\>hash);    cookie-\>bucket = b;    cookie-\>offset = 1;    I have not tried to see if this is programaticaly correct, but with    it bro compiles and runs fine for me (FreeBSD 5.1-CURRENT).       - yann ---
