Hello everyone,
I go by the name of Air0s this is my first post to the list so pls bear
with me..
I've got a problem building Tor from source which has to do with libevent..
Check-out the response I got from Nick Mathewson..
Also downloaded the 0.2.2.35 0.2.3.13-alpha sources but
again 2 no avail.. It just doesn't want to build..
It isn't building because it isn't finding the right libevent:
./libtor.a(main.o)(.text+
0x9bf): In function `handle_signals':
/tmp/tor/tor/src/or/main.c:2197: undefined reference to `event_new'
You've got two libevents installed: a 1.4 one and a 2.0 one. It's
finding the 2.0 one from your headers, and deciding that it can use
2.0 functionality. But when it goes to link, it's only linking
against the 1.4 one.
Your best bet there might be to either look into the
--with-libevent-dir option, or into setting your CFLAGS and LDFLAGS
variables manually to specify the right includes and the right
libraries. Folks on tor-talk or on the #tor IRC channel should be
able to walk you through that.

So here I am.. I've removed the 1.4 version of libevent but now
I need to set the --with-libevent-dir option or change the CFLAGS/LDFLAGS..
# pkg_version -v | grep libevent
libevent2-2.0.16
# locate libevent
/usr/local/lib = This is the location of the old 1.4
library
/usr/local/lib/event2 = This is the new 2.0 library
Question is how where do I set these flags..?
Much obliged for any feedback..
Regards,
E.
