Bug 14689 – DSniff won't compile

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Andrew 2003-01-28 16:05:26 UTC]

I'm getting some compile errors when trying to compile DSniff.  Another person
in the forums was able to verify this was a problem with Portage.  See more
information (errors, verification, etc..):

in /usr/portage/net-analyzer/dsniff/dsniff-2.3.ebuild, try changing "emake" to "make".

you're both failing on make doing both rpcgen and gcc at the same time. rpcgen hasn't finished generating the nfs_prot.h/c file or mount.h/c file from the *.x equivalents, so gcc only reads a partially generated file, hence the unteriminated #ifdef errors.

emake does make in -j2 mode (eg. 2 in parallel) but normal make just does it sequentially. if it works, then please report it so someone can fix the dsniff ebuild officially.

cheers,

alastair

Sure enough, it compiles after this.  I guess someone needs to make this change -- that's for the pointer in the right direction.

Fixed, thanks for finding this!
