Make errors with CentOS #69

Closed novaUd closed 11 years ago

Hi,

I am trying to get Honeyd to work with CentOS but when I do the make it gives me a bunch of errors. I found this issue which looks similar - https://github.com/DataSoft/Honeyd/issues/1

So if it is a libevent1-dev problem then how do I know which one CentOS would need? The one yum installs is 1.4.

The errors are ui.c warnings and errors.

The current version of honeyd uses libevent2 (the old Honeyd 1.5c version used libevent1, but we upgraded to be compatible with the 2.x API.).

Ok thanks, I installed libevent-2.0 and now it works, I did have to do the ./configure --without-python. Does that cause any problems down the road? honeyd seems to be working fine.

Thanks for the help,

It shouldn't cause any problems with Nova/Honeyd. It will disable a few obscure features of honeyd (some extended control via honeydctl when running), but nothing we use should be disabled.
