Compile snort on Centos 5.2 x86_64
September 14th, 2008 by bodhi.zazen
This is a *brief* how to compile snort on Centos 5.2 x86_64 (64 bit).
First install dependencies (some of these dependencies are for base)
yum -y install mysql mysql-devel mysql-bench mysql-server mysql-devel php-mysql httpd gcc gcc-c++ pcre-devel php-gd gd libpcap-devel php php-pear
Then download snort and a set of rules. When you compile you need to specify the path to the libraries (all one line):
./configure –with-mysql –enable-dynamicplugin –with-libpcap-libraries=/usr/lib64/ –with-libpcre-libraries=/usr/lib64/ –with-libnet-libraries=/usr/lib64/ –enable-dynamicplugin LDFLAGS=’-L/usr/lib64 -L/usr/lib64 -L/usr/lib64/mysql’
That’s it, make and make install then configure snort.
