Argus on Bivio 7500

[carter at qosient.com]

Hey Eric,
Jason has done the most with Bivio on the list.  We were slowing working on workarounds, thinking Bivio was releasing the newer libpcap any day, but that has been a while.

On line 2015 of the file ./argus/ArgusSource.c you should be able to comment out the call to pcap_get_selectable_fd(),all the code in the "#if !defined(CYGWIN..." and it should get past one hurdle, but the pcap_next_ex() replacement needs some work.  I'll see what I can do tonight/tomorrow.

Is there a BIVIO compiler directive that I can use to ifdef the code?

Hi Eric,

We also had the same problem compiling the 3.x series on our Bivio  
units.  Bivio ships (even with the newest OS 5.0.5) with an older  
libpcap.  We were told that the new libpcap that implements the  
pcap_get_selectable_fd method is in beta and should be released with  
the next OS release.

Right now we're running argus 2.x and running rastream 3.x on a non- 
Bivio machine.  The 2.x series compiles just fine (but no IPv6).

This was before Carter implemented any sort of Bivio changes, so I  
have not tested those.

Let me know if you have any questions.  I'm also interested in what  
else you might be using your Bivio for.

- Jason
