* Add --toolchain= configure option
* Add --with-bifcl= configure option
* Change --with-binpac= configure option to mean "path to binpac
executable"
* Add an example of how to use the above options for cross compiling
Bro to the docs
This just provides a convient way of indicating that ccache should
be used as compiler-wrapper during builds. e.g. when I want dev/debug
builds that (re)compile quickly, I do:
./configure --build-type=debug --generator=Ninja --ccache
We do no longer need to define BROKER_PYTHON_HOME, because as of
5bae0ee6f202038ad6ed74c1c2fdf1c07c81, broker uses PY_MOD_INSTALL_DIR as
the install location, which is already set.
Please note that this means that now the broker python bindings will be
installed to /lib/broctl instead of /lib/python.
Addresses BIT-1667
* origin/topic/dnthayer/ticket1645:
Disable broker by default
I added the --disable-broker back to configure (as a no-op), to not
break the build for everyone that is currently doing that in their build
scripts.
BIT-1645 #merged
This means CAF is now a required dependency. For now, I'm keeping a
switch --disable-broker to turn it off, but I'm thinking that
eventually we should remove that as well.
The new --enable-broker flag can be used to toggle the use of Broker,
which also implies building with -std=c++11, though nothing makes
use of these features at the moment.
--logdir: logs produced at run time
--spooldir: other data produced at run time
--localstatedir: contains spool or log dirs if those options aren't set
Addresses BIT-1166.
* origin/fastpath:
Don't build broccoli ruby bindings by default, use --enable-ruby to do so.
Revert "Fix race condition in unit test."
Fix race condition in unit test.
Change percent_lost in capture-loss from a string to a double.
--enable-perftools must now explicity be supplied to ./configure on
non-Linux systems to link against the tcmalloc library that a
gperftools installation provides. Linux systems still automatically
link it if it's found. The rationale is that gperftools was developed
and most throroughly tested on Linux so it's safer there.
There especially seems to be potential problems with gperftools on OS X
(e.g. see http://code.google.com/p/gperftools/issues/detail?id=413),
and Bro currently doesn't work with gpertools there using clang or gcc.
Updated the list of required and optional libraries and tools.
Rewrote the paragraph about the "aux" tools to more accurately
describe what actually gets installed.
* origin/topic/dnthayer/bug801:
Added an option to specify the 'etc' directory
Closes#801.
Note, I've adapted the code in configure a bit to make it independent
of the argument order (same for an older option). Hope that works ...
- Accessible at script-layer through 'mobile_ipv6_message' event.
- All Mobile IPv6 analysis now enabled through --enable-mobile-ipv6
configure-time option, otherwise the mobility header, routing type 2,
and Home Address Destination option are ignored.
I copied the code over manually, no merging, because (1) it needed to
be adapted to the new threading API, and (2) there's more stuff in the
branch that I haven't ported yet.
The DS output generally seems to work, but it has seen no further
testing yet.
Not unit tests yet either.
Also renaming --enable-perftools to --enable-perftool-debug to
indicate that the switch is only relevant for debugging the heap. It's
not needed to pick up tcmalloc for better performance.
--with-perftools can still (and always) be used to give a hint where
to find the libraries.
With the threading, using tcmalloc improves memory usage on FreeBSD
significantly when running on a trace. If it fixes the live problems,
remains to be seen ...
Internally, all BROv6 preprocessor switches were removed and
addr/subnet representations wrapped in the new IPAddr/IPPrefix classes.
Some script-layer changes of note:
- dns_AAAA_reply event signature changed: the string representation
of an IPv6 addr is easily derived from the addr value, it doesn't
need to be another parameter. This event also now generated directly
by the DNS analyzer instead of being "faked" into a dns_A_reply event.
- removed addr_to_count BIF. It used to return the host-order
count representation of IPv4 addresses only. To make it more
generic, we might later add a BIF to return a vector of counts
in order to support IPv6.
- changed the result of enclosing addr variables in vertical pipes
(e.g. |my_addr|) to return the bit-width of the address type which
is 128 for IPv6 and 32 for IPv4. It used to function the same
way as addr_to_count mentioned above.
- remove bro_has_ipv6 BIF
- Fixing the parts of the `make restdoc` and `make doc` process that were
broken by the last Bro script re-organization
- Generated documentation for Bro scripts derived from BiFs now use the
original BiF source file as the "original source file" link
- Renaming of the internal POLICYDEST definition and other misc places that
refer to "policy" scripts; that terminology doesn't make total sense now
- Added a documentation blacklist reminder test that will fail if there's
scripts that are blacklisted from being documentated because they're still
in progress
- Some minor Bro script changes to fix small @load dependency errors
Addresses #543
- Duplicates of the distribution's configuration files are now always
installed with a .example suffix
- Added --binary-package configure option to toggle configure logic
specific to the creation of binary packages.
- When not in binary packaging mode, `make install` never overwrites
existing configure files in case they've been modified. The previous
behavior (CMake's default) would only avoid overwriting modified files
if one consistently uses the same build directory and doesn't reconfigure.
- Fixed an issue with Mac package's pre-install script not preserving ACLs
- Minor cleanup/refactor of the make-mac/rpm-packages scripts
