Re: snort compilation on Tru Unix 4.0G

It appears as though you're using Digital's compiler.  Snort is primarly 
written (at least at the moment) to be compiled using GCC and Microsoft 
VisualC++.  I believe we've got an alpha somewhere but I don't know if 
tru64 bundles the compiler for free or it's an add-on that must be 
purchased (ala Sun).

If tru64 doesn't come with a compatible lexx/yacc/m4 etc, you might have 
some success looking for precompiled packages.  I'd be very suprised if 
Compaq didn't already provide such packages themselves or at least 
information on where to obtain them (IBM, HP and Sun all provide packages 
and/or links to places that provide them).  In your case, flex, bison, and 
all other associated components might be a lot friendlier if you compile 
them using GCC.
