how to compile bro plugin at the same time as bro

Development

Hi,

I would like to ask how to enable compilation and installation of bro’s plugin at the same time as the rest of bro is compiling/installing. I would like to enable redis plugin (but only this one) - so I copied over BroPluginStatic.cmake into its cmake dir, but I am not sure how to call it from main CMake.

For example - when I included into CMakeLists.txt (toplevel)
"CheckOptionalBuildSources(aux/plugins/redis Redis true) "

it was not finding eg plugin/Plugin.h or logging/WriterBacked.h

I can somehow hack it in - in the way as dynamic cmake suggest, but I would like to know if there is neater way how to enable it.

Thanks for any help on this,
Maritna

That's a good question, we don't have a mechanism for that yet.
Currently the assumption is that dynamic plugins are compiled
separately. It would indeed be nice to have the Bro CMake
configuration pick up further dynamic plugins to compile along.
