Hi,

Compiling Bro 2.4 with CAF 0.13.2 works fine. However, after updating to
CAF 0.14.0, Bro fails to compile with error message:

Scanning dependencies of target broker
make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/setup/bro/bro-2.4/build'
make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/setup/bro/bro-2.4/build'

>From the build, I can see this:

-- Found Libcaf: /usr/local/lib/libcaf_core.so;/usr/local/lib/libcaf_io.so
-- Found CAF version: 0.14.0

The path of the file "abstract_uniform_type_info.hpp" in CAF 0.14 is:

ls -l /usr/local/include/caf/abstract_uniform_type_info.hpp
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3600 Jul 10 05:15
/usr/local/include/caf/abstract_uniform_type_info.hpp

However, the path of the same file in CAF 0.13.2 is:

/usr/local/include/caf/detail/abstract_uniform_type_info.hpp

The directory "detail" is dropped in CAF 0.14.0

I tried configuring Bro again, this time adding --with-libcaf, but the same
error persisted. Since the paths seemed different, I made changes to Bro
code to look at the new path. This did not work. I also tried moving "
abstract_uniform_type_info.hpp" inside "detail" to mimic CAF 0.13.2, and
that also did not work. In both cases 1) code change, and 2) directory
change, I ended up with the same error(s):

Actor Framework was configured with:

sudo ./configure --no-examples --no-unit-tests --no-qt-examples
--no-protobuf-examples

Bro was configured with:

sudo ./configure --with-pcap=/usr/local/lib --enable-c++11 --enable-broker

and GCC version is

$ gcc --version
gcc (Ubuntu 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04) 4.8.4

I thought of checking with the list if anyone faced the same issue, or
whether I should contact the Actor Framework maintainers.

Thanks.
