[tcpdump-workers] Libpcap 1.3.0 not building on OpenBSD 5.2 sparc64
Hi, I'm trying to build libpcap 1.3.0 on my Sun Fire V210 running OpenBSD 5.2 however, I keep getting errors?? The configuration script doesn't come up with anything claiming to be an error however, if I run 'make' afterwards I get this: # make VER=`cat ./VERSION`; MAJOR_VER=`sed 's/\([0-9][0-9]*\)\..*/\1/' ./VERSION`; gcc -shared -Wl,-soname,libpcap.so.$MAJOR_VER -o libpcap.so.$VER pcap-bpf.o fad-getad.o pcap.o inet.o gencode.o optimize.o nametoaddr.o etherent.o savefile.o sf-pcap.o sf-pcap-ng.o pcap-common.o bpf_image.o bpf_dump.o scanner.o grammar.o bpf_filter.o version.o scanner.o(.text+0x3b8): In function `pcap__load_buffer_state': /home/libpcap-1.3.0/scanner.c:4207: relocation truncated to fit: R_SPARC_GOT13 yy_n_chars scanner.o(.text+0x3dc):/home/libpcap-1.3.0/scanner.c:4209: relocation truncated to fit: R_SPARC_GOT13 pcap_in scanner.o(.text+0x3e8):/home/libpcap-1.3.0/scanner.c:4210: relocation truncated to fit: R_SPARC_GOT13 yy_hold_char scanner.o(.text+0x42c): In function `pcap__switch_to_buffer': /home/libpcap-1.3.0/scanner.c:4184: relocation truncated to fit: R_SPARC_GOT13 yy_hold_char scanner.o(.text+0x43c):/home/libpcap-1.3.0/scanner.c:4186: relocation truncated to fit: R_SPARC_GOT13 yy_n_chars scanner.o(.text+0x454):/home/libpcap-1.3.0/scanner.c:4197: relocation truncated to fit: R_SPARC_GOT13 yy_did_buffer_switch_on_eof scanner.o(.text+0x558): In function `yy_fatal_error': /home/libpcap-1.3.0/scanner.c:4488: relocation truncated to fit: R_SPARC_GOT13 .LC0 scanner.o(.text+0x620): In function `pcap__scan_buffer': /home/libpcap-1.3.0/scanner.c:4350: relocation truncated to fit: R_SPARC_GOT13 .LC1 scanner.o(.text+0x6c0): In function `pcap__scan_bytes': /home/libpcap-1.3.0/scanner.c:4413: relocation truncated to fit: R_SPARC_GOT13 .LC3 scanner.o(.text+0x6e0):/home/libpcap-1.3.0/scanner.c:4404: relocation truncated to fit: R_SPARC_GOT13 .LC2 scanner.o(.text+0x758): In function `lex_init': ./scanner.l:399: additional relocation overflows omitted from the output collect2: ld returned 1 exit status *** Error code 1 Would anyone be able to give me a hand to build it into my system?

The configuration script doesn't come up with anything claiming to be an error That's because there isn't anything on the system that would inherently prevent it from building. however, if I run 'make' afterwards I get this: # make VER=`cat ./VERSION`; MAJOR_VER=`sed 's/\([0-9][0-9]*\)\..*/\1/' ./VERSION`; gcc -shared -Wl,-soname,libpcap.so.$MAJOR_VER -o libpcap.so.$VER pcap-bpf.o fad-getad.o pcap.o inet.o gencode.o optimize.o nametoaddr.o etherent.o savefile.o sf-pcap.o sf-pcap-ng.o pcap-common.o bpf_image.o bpf_dump.o scanner.o grammar.o bpf_filter.o version.o scanner.o(.text+0x3b8): In function `pcap__load_buffer_state': /home/libpcap-1.3.0/scanner.c:4207: relocation truncated to fit: R_SPARC_GOT13 yy_n_chars That's probably because it needs to be compiled with -fPIC rather than -fpic - offsets in SPARC instructions are, I think, shorter than in at least some other instruction sets, so if the global offset table is too large (which it apparently is, perhaps due to the Flex-generated scanner, given that the complaints from the linker are about it), the compiler might need to generate instructions that synthesize larger offsets than will fit in the 13-bit offset field. Would anyone be able to give me a hand to build it into my system? Edit the Makefile and replace all occurrences of "-fpic" with "-fPIC", do "make clean", and then try doing "make" again. I'll fix the configure script by adding OpenBSD to the list of platforms where 64-bit SPARC requires -fPIC. Many thanks Guy, this worked fine :-) I just hope it's installed properly; though the installation of Snort and Daq went perfectly so will just need to test more.
