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

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.
Regards,
Kaya
