Re: [Snort++] Trying to integrate a custom Inspector

Hi,

you are missing a change to extra/configure.ac - this is how the process
may look like:

autoreconf -isvf
./configure --prefix=/tmp/snort --exec_prefix=/tmp/snort
--disable-static-daq --enable-debug-msgs --enable-debug
make install
cd extra
sed -i '/dpx/asrc/inspectors/test/Makefile \\' ./configure.ac
cp -r src/inspectors/dpx/ src/inspectors/test
mv src/inspectors/test/dpx.cc src/inspectors/test/test.cc
sed -i 's/dpx/test/g' src/inspectors/test/Makefile.am
sed -i 's/dpx/dpx \\/' src/inspectors/Makefile.am&& sed -i '/dpx/atest'
src/inspectors/Makefile.am
autoreconf -isvf
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=../ ./configure --prefix=/tmp/snort
make install
