build fails due to missing simdzone (git head)
gene-git opened this issue · comments
Git master as of commit 65312f9 fails to build.
Problem is that the directory simdzone is empty.
I did build simdzone and installed it into /usr/{include,lib} but this didn't help - configure doesn't yet know about it.
thanks.
Hi @gene-git. Thanks for the report! simdzone is included as a subrepository and statically linked with NSD. The idea is that a certain version is shipped in the tarball. Should you want to build from master instead, which is possible, you should initialize the submodule and run autoconf in that directory too. Depending on your usecase, it may be better to stick to official releases(?) I'll update the README.md to reflect the changes in building from Git for convenience.
Thanks - i totally missed that it was added as submodule - after adding it everything builds just fine.
I use releases in production but I also build git head daily.
thank you for patiently explaining what I missed!
Thank you for README updates as well. I'm sure it will be helpful.
