don't know how to make bpf_filter.c (prerequisite of: bpf_filter.o)

[jungle-boogie]

Hi All,

OpenBSD -current via snapsot and I cannot successfully build libpcap. tcpdump and libpcap git repos reside in ~/bin/. tcpdump has no issues building, but libpcap fails here:

So are you trying to build from a clone of the tcpdump.org Git repository or from a source tarball from tcpdump.org?

[guyharris]

If I try to build from a clone of the tcpdump.org Git repository on OpenBSD 6.3, I don't have any problem. Are you certain that 1) you're up to date and 2) git status doesn't report any missing files?

Note that bpf_filter.c was moved from a subdirectory to the top-level directory.

[jungle-boogie]

Hi @guyharris,

I am attempted to build libpcap from the git URL of https://github.com/the-tcpdump-group/libpcap

I did see the history of bpf_filter.c and see it was moved; I'll delete the git repo I have, clone, config and build.

When you compiled libpcap from the git src, did you specify anything for your config options? Which compiler did it use?

[guyharris]

I think I specified --enable-remote, but it should work with or without that option.

Which compiler did it use?

GCC, because I didn't specify --without-gcc.

[jungle-boogie]

I'll delete the git repo I have, clone, config and build.

that did the trick! git status did show two deleted files, by the way.

[guyharris]

git status did show two deleted files, by the way.

That's usually a bad sign, unless you plan to delete those files from your repository.
