Compiling Snort for OS X (x86)

[bofors]

I occansional use Snort to do some network programming as kind of a diagnostic tool (you can see exactly what is coming and going over the network with it).

 

Anyways, I had been using the version of Snort the came with HenWen. That was PPC, it does not work with Rosetta (apparently) and the HenWen is otherwise dead.

 

Now, I want to simple complie Snort on OS X (x86) but I am having problems.

 

Here is the source: http://www.snort.org/got_source/source.html

 

These are supposed to be the instructions:

 

To compile CVS code, execute commands:

sh ./autojunk
./configure <configure options here>
make

 

Needless to say they do not work.

 

Another way to compile Snort (for OS X even) is listed here: http://www.snort.org/archive-4-3577.html but it does not work for me either.

 

While I certainly spend the time to figure out how to this myself (and probably should), I have other demands on my time.

 

So, can anybody help out by either telling me how to compile Snort or perhaps by posting an x86 binary for OS X?

Yes, I saw that before, but that does not seem like the same problem I am running into here.

[sg]

have you tried getting it from darwinports?

[bofors]

No, but it seems to be available there:

I will give that a shot, thanks.

 

EDIT:

 

Ok, that works. Thanks again.

 

I did not know about DarwinPorts.
