Kris said Well, for starters the snort 1.8.7 work subdirectory is called snort-1.8.7 not snort-1.8.6, but if the entire work directory is missing then you've omitted a step where you 'cd /usr/ports/security/snort; make all install' to actually build and install snort.
This is what I did. " make -DWITH_MYSQL -DWITH_FLEXRESP " then make install That's what it said to do. Don't know what it actually does. It looks like it's telling snort to install and know to talk to mysql. I don't recall seing a subdirectory of snort-1.8.7. so what does this command do anyways. Can I just install snort and mysql the simple way from ports and then link them together instead of doing the whole thing all at once? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kris Kennaway" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Kenzo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2002 11:47 AM Subject: Re: snort and freeBSD4.7 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
