Building and Running Argus-3.0.0 on Cygwin

Sun Mar 9 19:01:39 EDT 2008

Hello,
  I have had many of the issues that have already been
reported in the group concerning building and running the Argus 3.0.0
server on Cygwin, but I cannot seem to resolve them as many others
have.  I'm using the most current version of Cygwin on XP SP2 for these
tests.  I'll list the issues below:

1)  Problem with IPv6 support

It
appears that the in.h requires USE_IPV6 to be defined but it is not by
default.  The this results in the following output when attempting make
in the common directory:

gcc -O3 -I. -I../../WpdPack/Include

make: *** [argus_util.o] Error 1

Adding this definition resolves this problem.

2) XDR Functions

Once
the IPv6 problem is resolved there are further issues with the what I
believe is the rpc library resulting in the following output from make:

I
am a novice at resolving these issues cleanly.  I was able to extract
the object files from the librpclib.a file and include them in the
argus_common.a which truly seems like an overkill.

3)  Running argus

Once
these hurdles were overcome, I was able to run a "make install" and
attempted to launch argus but it immediately returned to the prompt
without listing interfaces.  This was the exact situation described by
a previous post.  It failed in the init_console_handler function which
is a native Cygwin function.

I'm including the output from configure in the the hopes that it will be of some assistance:

I appreciate any assistance or guidance anyone can give.  Thanks ahead of time for the help.
