GSA falling to install

[Msec-hue]

Expected behavior

When installing GSA from the source installation, it should compile the source code.

Actual behavior

I get the below when reaching the 7% mark, due to the function start_unix_http_daemon.

Steps to reproduce

1.Go the gsa downloaded directory downloaded from github

2. run "make" in the build folder and we get the error

GVM versions

gsa: (gsad --version)

*gvm: 9.0.1* (gvmd --version)

openvas-scanner: (openvassd --version)

*gvm-libs:11.0.1*

*openvas:7.0.1*

Environment

Operating system:Kali GNU/linux Rolling 2020.2 The Kali is a Vmware image

*Installation method / source:source installation* (packages, source installation)

Logfiles

no logs

[8Cris1]

Same issue

[cfi-gb]

@Msec-hue @8Cris1 As a workaround adding -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE to the cmake .. call should allow to build GSA.

This is confirmed working using gsa-20.08 master and running ubuntu:devel as of today

[tuxmaster5000]

The same option is needed to build it for CentOS 7. (Tested with 20.8.0 of gsa)

Confirmed this resolves issue and allows build on Kali today.

This link has some information as to why this is happening on libmicrohttpd12 0.9.71-1

hi, during the build of the gsa i find the same error:

@brennnaaannn i don't understand how to solve this bug, can you help me? with kali. Thanks

@othin87 It seems like the same error we have been mentioning in this thread. Have you added "-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE" to the cmake before re-attempting the build?
