Bug #7763

Updated by Jason Ish 1 day ago

When building on Windows, even in @MSYS2@, it appears some paths are hardcoded for the MSI installer, such as the configuration configure directory and log directory which are always @C:\Program Files\Suricata@. While this is useful for the package, it is not that useful for developing and testing in the @MSYS2@ environment where a more traditional layout makes more sense. 

 My recommendations is that when building on MSYS2 we should a more unix style layout, and allow the parameters to be overriden with ./configure options. This matches @make install@ where the binaries are install in @/bin@ or @/usr/local/bin@.
