Question

I have a problem installing package dionaea.

After I type this:

./configure --with-lcfg-include=/opt/dionaea/include/ \\
--with-lcfg-lib         


        

Answer 1

./configure command should generate a makefile, named makefile or Makefile. if in the directory there is no this file, you should check whether the configure command execute success.

in my case, I configure the apr-util:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apr-util --with-apr=/usr/local/apr/bin/apr-1-config

because the --with-apr=/usr/local/apr/bin/apr-1-config, the apr did not install yet, so there configure fail, there did not generate the apr's /usr/local/apr/bin/apr-1-config.

So I install the apr, then configure the apr-util, it works.
