Problem compiling syslog-ng with enable-spoof-source on AIX 5.2
Hi, I'm trying to compile syslog-ng.2.1.3 after configuring with --enable-spoof-source. libnet is a prereq as I have learned, but I can't find any hint how to install libnet. Latest version of libnet is "0.10.11: released 18/02/2003" and it seems there is no mailinglist available. The code comes with some makefile templates such as "beos.mak, djgpp.mak, freebsd.mak, linux.mak, mingw.mak, rsxntdj.mak", but none of them works with AIX I have used "GNU Make 3.81" and "gcc version 3.3.2" to compile libnet. All are failing. Do you have any ideas how to get it done? Thank You! Werner

Don't use libnet from sourceforge.
From http://www.packetfactory.net/libnet you can download the 1.1.2.1 release. It has a known bug in the checksum calculation, so google for libnet+checksum+patch

Hi, Thanks Sandor, it seems that the proposed version of libnet is not destined for AIX. :-(( Werner Please respond to "Syslog-ng users' and developers' mailing list" <syslog-ng@lists.balabit.hu> Sent by: syslog-ng-bounces@lists.balabit.hu To: "Syslog-ng users' and developers' mailing list" <syslog-ng@lists.balabit.hu> cc: Subject: Re: [syslog-ng] Problem compiling syslog-ng with enable-spoof-source on AIX 5.2 Hi,

We have successfully compiled libnet on AIX and syslog-ng PE 3.0 does support spoof-source on AIX, however this is not the case with syslog-ng PE 2.1 nor syslog-ng OSE binaries. Since we are already working on the binary package support on OSE 3.0, I could provide you with an OSE 3.0 binary snapshot that works on AIX and has spoof-source support. Later, if this works out for you, you can purchase an OSE binary subscription to obtain the final build. Price-wise, the Premium Edition has the highest cost, but that's available immediately. The OSE subscription has much lower price but still needs some work. And of course I might be able to help you with libnet compilation, but that requires a lot of time. -- Bazsi
