Description

Hello,

I'm trying to install Suricata 2.0.1 on CentOS 5.10 x64, but it's erroring out on make when configuring with --enable-profiling. Details below:

Configure command

%configure \
        --prefix=/usr/ \
        --sysconfdir=/etc/ \
        --localstatedir=/var/ \
        --enable-unix-socket \
        --enable-profiling \
        --enable-geoip \
        --with-libnss-libraries=/usr/lib64 \
        --with-libnss-includes=/usr/include/nss3 \
        --with-libnspr-libraries=/usr/lib64 \
        --with-libnspr-includes=/usr/include/nspr4 \
        --enable-nfqueue

I was able to install the latest 1.x version without issues, even with --enable-profile enabled, but for some reason I can't get past make on version 2.0.1. It installed flawlessly on CentOS 6 with the same configure command.

Is there anything that I'm missing by any chance? If there's any other info I can provide, let me know.

Thanks.

Can you try editing that line (util-profiling.c, line 100) and remove the 'static' keyword there?

Since CentOS5 is old and it only affects profiling, I'm setting priority to low.

I've commented out all occurrences of SC_ATOMIC_DECL_AND_INIT from the util-profiling C script, and then it still errors out at another point:

util-profiling.c: In function ‘SCProfilePacketStart’:
util-profiling.c:961: error: ‘samples_sc_atomic__’ undeclared (first use in this function)
util-profiling.c:961: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
util-profiling.c:961: error: for each function it appears in.)
util-profiling.c:961: warning: type defaults to ‘int’ in declaration of ‘var’

make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/setup/suricata-2.0.1/src'

Seems to me like this will lead to basically disabling packet profiling one way or another? I.E if not by avoiding it on ./configure, then by commenting out the related code in the source files? Was this feature conceived to work on CentOS 5 or not ?

Thank you

Yes, that won't work. Please remove only the static word, not the entire line.

Ah ok sorry I misread that and I understand what you were going for. That fixed most of the errors and now I'm left with:

util-profiling.c:100: error: expected declaration specifiers or ‘...’ before ‘&’ token
util-profiling.c:100: error: expected declaration specifiers or ‘...’ before numeric constant
util-profiling.c:100: warning: data definition has no type or storage class
util-profiling.c:100: warning: type defaults to ‘int’ in declaration of ‘pthread_spin_init’

The header at line 100 now looks like:

SC_ATOMIC_DECL_AND_INIT(uint64_t, samples);

Is it possibly related to the uppercase name of the function that's being "confused" with a constant perhaps?
