List, last week I ran into this issue once but could not reproduce afterwards. My guess is this error is specific to non-straightforward builds of libpcap and/or leftovers across multiple build attempts. It happened once as follows (please note Sabotage uses musl instead of glibc and libnetlink-tiny instead of libnetlink): # (at a Linux host) wget http://ftp.barfooze.de/pub/sabotage/sabotage-0.9.14-i386-66f57ca1-core.img.xz unxz sabotage-0.9.14-i386-66f57ca1-core.img.xz VBoxManage convertfromraw sabotage-0.9.14-i386-66f57ca1-core.img sabotage-0.9.14-i386-66f57ca1-core.vdi VirtualBox & # add a new x86_64 VM using the .vdi disk image and powered it on # (inside VM as root) adduser tcpdump passwd tcpdump # (inside VM as tcpdump) git clone git://github.com/the-tcpdump-group/libpcap.git git clone git://github.com/the-tcpdump-group/tcpdump.git Then I tried to compile libpcap without and with ("butch install autoconf" as root) autoconf, without and with .devel, without and with the following hacks: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- diff --git a/Makefile.in b/Makefile.in index 31f3bdb..58f93d7 100644 --- a/Makefile.in +++ b/Makefile.in @@ -744,4 +744,4 @@ releasetar: rm -rf $$name depend: $(GENSRC) $(GENHDR) bpf_filter.c - $(MKDEP) -c $(CC) -m $(DEPENDENCY_CFLAG) $(DEFS) $(INCLS) $(SRC) + $(MKDEP) -c $(CC) -m $(CFLAGS) $(DEPENDENCY_CFLAG) $(DEFS) $(INCLS) $(SRC) diff --git a/configure b/configure index be87668..31a2dcc 100755 --- a/configure +++ b/configure @@ -5619,7 +5619,7 @@ if test "x$ac_cv_lib_nl_nl_socket_alloc" = xyes; then : # # Yes, we have libnl 2.x. # - LIBS="-lnl-genl -lnl $LIBS" + LIBS="-lnl $LIBS" $as_echo "#define HAVE_LIBNL 1" >>confdefs.h diff --git a/configure.in b/configure.in index 2cae646..b53fb15 100644 --- a/configure.in +++ b/configure.in @@ -473,7 +473,7 @@ linux) # # Yes, we have libnl 2.x. # - LIBS="-lnl-genl -lnl $LIBS" + LIBS="-lnl $LIBS" AC_DEFINE(HAVE_LIBNL,1,[if libnl exists]) AC_DEFINE(HAVE_LIBNL_2_x,1,[if libnl exists and is version 2.x]) AC_DEFINE(HAVE_LIBNL_NLE,1,[libnl has NLE_FAILURE]) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The configure call evolved over time and became the following: CFLAGS=`-I/usr/include/libnl-tiny` \ LDFLAGS=`pkg-config --libs-only-L libnl-tiny` \ LIBS=`pkg-config --libs-only-l libnl-tiny` \ ./configure Eventually libpcap built OK (may be on 10th attempt), I ran ./configure in ../tcpdump and observed the "Report this to tcpdump-workers@lists.tcpdump.org" boilerplate. A few more "make clean all" passes in libpcap directory later I checked again on the tcpdump side and the issue had vanished. -- Denis Ovsienko _______________________________________________ tcpdump-workers mailing list tcpdump-workers@lists.tcpdump.org https://lists.sandelman.ca/mailman/listinfo/tcpdump-workers
