Cannot build snort with dynamic rules #10

Open archit-p opened 5 years ago

archit-p commented 5 years ago

This issue is caused due to the options --enable-static --disable-shared while running configure in the Snort directory. These options are required since DPDK does not build shared libraries by default and hence cannot be linked statically.

Perhaps, a re-evaluation of the configure.ac scripts is required.

@archit-p -- is this issue resolved by your updates that we just merged?

Hi @twood02, sorry about the delayed response.

This issue was not fixed by my pull request and needs some investigation.
