[Bro] Bro and OpenBSD 4.0 issues

Hello Mr. Luiggi, 

I have already posted the config.log file.  However, I have attached the
Makefile and another file called info.txt.  After running configure and
make, I ran the make install command and redirected the output to info.txt.
I'm just an end user and I have no coding skills at all.  Although, I do
have access to some very good coding folks so if there is something I can
pass on to them to help out, please let me know.

Thanks.


Tim Fowler

Hello Tim,

Beside of the fact you run the "base" OpenBSD 4.0 and myself the
development's version, i can't figure out (yet) where's the problem.

In didn't notice in the files you  sent (but i may be wrong) the result of
the "make".
Could you send it please ?


Best regards.

This might be an (unintentional) artifact of the connection
compressor. I'll look into it.

I am getting this on a FreeBSD 5.4 system also. It seems that
make_parser.pl is not getting called to interpret the parse.y file.
If I run 'make_parser.pl byacc' manually, then the build completes.

It's been awhile since I've played with autoconf/automake.

The conflict appears to be somewhere in the following two entries:

broparse.h parse.cc: parse.y
        $(YACC) $(YFLAGS) parse.y
        @sed '/extern char.*getenv/d;s/yylex/brolex/' <y.tab.c >parse.cc
        @mv y.tab.h broparse.h
        @rm y.tab.c

parse.y: parse.in make_parser.pl
        @rm -f parse.y
        perl -w $(srcdir)/make_parser.pl "$(YACC)"
        chmod -w parse.y

Thanks,

Randy
