Dsniff fails to build on 10.7

[michael.komm@…]

Dsniff fails to compile on Lion. I think the problem is somewhere in DB library

port install dsniff
--->  Computing dependencies for dsniff
--->  Building dsniff
Error: org.macports.build for port dsniff returned: command execution failed
Please see the log file for port dsniff for details:
    /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_net_dsniff/dsniff/main.log
To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide:
    http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets
Error: Processing of port dsniff failed

When I run make manually, I get errors linked to the DB library:

/record.c:130:30: error: use of undeclared identifier 'R_NOOVERWRITE'
        if (db->put(db, key, &data, R_NOOVERWRITE) == 0)
                                    ^
./record.c:143:13: error: no member named 'seq' in 'struct __db'
        while (db->seq(db, &key, &data, R_NEXT) == 0) { 
               ~~  ^
./record.c:143:34: error: use of undeclared identifier 'R_NEXT'
        while (db->seq(db, &key, &data, R_NEXT) == 0) { 

and also some linked to NFS:

In file included from ./filesnarf.c:28:
./nfs_prot.h:6:2: error: unterminated conditional directive
#ifndef _NFS_PROT_H_RPCGEN
 ^
./filesnarf.c:38:12: error: use of undeclared identifier 'NFS3_FHSIZE'
        u_char fh[NFS3_FHSIZE];

The log is incomplete; please ​clean and try again.

I don't think anybody has been able to build dsniff for years; see #23971, though your errors look different.

Try dsniff-devel instead.

Dsniff doesn't like clang. Fixed in r104860.

I was able to build dsniff successfully just now.

If it doesn't like clang, shouldn't the blacklist be for all clangs?

build-log-dsniff-devel

[michael.komm@…]

I have reinstalled libnids with libnet11 and tried to install dsniff-devel but the errors look quite the same

[michael.komm@…]

I believe that dsniff is missing some header files from DB, although I have installed db53 package.

Please do a:

$ sudo port selfupdate

and try installing dsniff again. It should be fixed now.

[michael.komm@…]

I did selfupdate and upgrade outdated but I am still getting the same errors

Yep, done in r104862.

dsniff-devel doesn't like clang, too. Fixed in r104862.

I blacklisted all clang versions for dsniff and dsniff-devel in r104862. Both work on my 10.7 machine now (I was able to reproduce the error you reported before). Please wait a little while, do a selfupdate and try installing dsniff or dsniff-devel again.

[michael.komm@…]

I did the selfupdate again and now it builds all right. thanks a lot!

[ci42]

dsniff-devel is now available as a binary package for 10.7. Provided you are using a standard MacPorts installation, you should be able to get a precompiled dsniff-devel:

$ sudo port selfupdate
$ sudo port clean dsniff-devel
$ sudo port -b install dsniff-devel

Your statement in comment:10 is incorrect. dsniff-devel builds fine with clang for me. Please revert the change and find out why it doesn't work with your clang version, and if necessary blacklist a specific clang version.

[neverpanic (Clemens Lang)]

And the same goes for dsniff, it also works fine with my clang. Please also revert this change as falling back to llvm-gcc-4.2 should not be a long term solution considering it will go away in the next Xcode release. You can blacklist specific clang versions if necessary.

You're right. I thought clang was causing the build failure when i saw the following line in the dsniff / dsniff-devel log file:

clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

But the build fails randomly regardless of using clang or not. There seems to be a timing problem.

Revert r104862 and disable parallel build in r104870.
