Compiling Bfilter v.1.10

[Bod0]

Hi Guys,

Just working through the Bfilter install and when i use the ./configure command it comes up with

Checking ace/ACE.h usability.....no
Checking ace/ACE.h presence.....no

Configure: error ACE Headers not found.

I have ACE version 5.4 on there which i installed from the /usr/ports/devel/ace folder and it completed ok.

Can anyone offer any help as to what the problem might be


Thanks

Probably the port installes ACE headers somewhere where the compiler can't find them. For example, if ACE headers are installed to /usr/local/include/ace, you have to tell the compiler about /usr/local/include like this:
./configure CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include"
Note that we specify /usr/local/include rather than /usr/local/include/ace, as we reference ACE headers as <ace/header.h> rather than just <header.h>.
You may also have to tell the compiler about the lib directory:
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib"

Hi Jart,

Thanks for the info it found the ace file no problem after using that, howerver i have now come across the error

package sigc++-2.0 was not found, is this a required package and where can i get it from?

It also came up with gnome-config: not found

Do i need to be running gnome to use the software, i didnt want to complie X windows on the box if possible

thanks in advance

sigc++ is required even for command-line builds. This library has nothing to do with X, except that it was originally developed for gtkmm (the c++ binding for gtk).
sigc++ was required even for 0.9.4, but then it was sigc++-1.2, and now it's 2.0. It should be in ports anyway.

Thanks jart will try that now

Hi Jart,

god this installs been chewy, i have now come across a stop error in the make file.

It seems to be in the ErrorReponse.cpp located in the main dir.

There are multiple errors from line 46 - 210 alot of them say something along the lines of

ErrorResponsee.cpp:line: error: expected "expression" before "m"

The last error before the stop error is

ErrorResponsee.cpp:210: error: "m" undeclared (first use this function)

Any Help would be very much appreciated

My guess is that main/errors/ERR_*.inc files, that are generated at compile-time, are empty or damaged.
They must look like this:
{
"str1",
"str2",
0
};

Try compiling with gmake instead of make. That might help.

Hi Jart,

Sorry to be a pain,

Tried gmake gave me a bit more output this time says that the ERR *.inc files cannot be found

Error code

ErrorResponse.cpp:line: error: ERR_.*.inc: No such file or directory

and then the same "m" undeclared error

I have been into the main/errors dir and can only see HTML files

Does it matter where the Bfilter root folder is?

Once again any help is appreciated

Hi Jart,

I have a guess and recreated the files as per your code instrustion and touch wood it seems to be making ok now so i will see how it goes

thanks for your help so far

The root directory of bfilter doesn't matter. Out-of-tree builds are supported as well.

I need the full make output.
Save it like this:
gmake 2>&1 > make.txt

Hi Jart,

I have sucessfully made the package after i had palce the .inc files in the right directory,

However my new problem comes when i try to make install the package

It comes up with a stop error in bfilter/conf

-f " //usr/local/etc/bfilter/rules"
-f:No such file or directory
***Error code 1

Any thoughts

Thanks

I think I see the problem. If I am right, gmake should solve it. Anyway, I'll fix it in the next release.
I still want the make output that caused problems with .inc files. Then I'll hopefully fix both of these problems.

Hi Jart,

how can i make the gmake output?

I tired the method you described and it said

Ambiguous output redirect

Any Ideas?

Will i be able to install v10 then or will i have to wait for you to fix the problems?

Once again thanks for your help

Running something other than bash? Probably only bash understands that syntax.
Well, I am not a shell guru, and I don't know how to glue stdout and stderr in other shells.
If you don't know it either, then give me two files.
One for stdout:
gmake > stdout.txt
And another for stderr:
gmake 2> stderr.txt

I'll post a beta version as soon as I solve the problems.
