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’

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?
