I am trying to re-compile Snort on a MacBook Pro, adding features so
that I may do see more traffic et al.

It seems the 2.9.0.3 Snort Manual and the INSTALL readme lack some of
the options below, is there somewhere on the Snort.org site they are
listed?
Otherwise consider this a request to update.

I'll look into the documentation.  We've fixed a number of such bugs
recently.

In the meantime, you can always ./configure --help.


Thanks

Can you be more specific about which options those posts are
referring to that are no longer realistic?  The only one that
I can think of that might be missing is --enable-ipv6.

For compiling snort 2.9.0.3 on CentOS el5
i've used

./configure --enable-dynamicplugin --enable-static-daq --enable-ipv6
--enable-zlib --enable-gre --enable-mpls --enable-targetbased
--enable-decoder-preprocessor-rules --enable-ppm --enable-perfprofiling
--enable-linux-smp-stats --enable-inline-init-failopen --enable-pthread
--enable-ppm-test --enable-active-response --enable-normalizer
--enable-reload --enable-reload-error-restart --enable-react
--enable-flexresp3 --with-gnu-ld

from posts i've read here and there i'm no longer sure this is a
realistic
way of compiling snort, does this configuration line impose any direct
limitations or problems with using snort ?
