snort with mysql [solved]

Hi All,

I relatively new to arch.
Now I want to run snort with mysql support. My log file claims that the default pkg through pacman does not have mysql support enabled.
How do I go about enabling this in a simple way. Is there somewhere where I can obtain the original PKGBUILD so I can tweak that one, or do I have to start from scratch?
Or, am I doing something wrong in the first place?

thanks,

Leon..

Re: snort with mysql [solved]

You're not doing anything wrong - snort is indeed compiled --without-mysql. You can get the PKGBUILD and associated build files from the CVS link here,  or by running abs to acquire the entire Arch package tree.

If you haven't built any Arch packages before, modifying an existing one like this is a good way to start. The relevant wiki articles are highly recommended reading.
