The problem with creating the ipkg package: configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.

[Steel551454]

I wanted to assemble a separate package with a suricata, but at the creation stage an error occurs.
To issue i put the output of the command "make package/suricata/compile -j1 V=s" and file "config.log".
Output:

What could be the error. Please help

[seanlinmt]

Does the same problem occur when building other packages? I'll need to setup my build environment again.

[Steel551454]

if you succeed in assembling a package, then send detailed instructions how you did it, please)

[seanlinmt]

please?

[Steel551454]

please

[Steel551454]

Can you help?

[seanlinmt]

Oh yes. Sorry. I almost forgot about this. I'm actually having problems building OpenWRT even without this package. I moved over to Arch Linux. I'm unsure what's wrong at the moment. But what I would do is just build OpenWRT first without including suricata. And then have a look at https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/devel/feeds and follow the instructions there.

By the way, I'm curious what device you are building this for. I realised only after I got this working that I realise that the device I have does not meet the requirement for suricata.

[Steel551454]

I first compile the package on a virtual machine under ubuntu 14.04. After a series of setbacks I switched to a docker with debian jessie.
Also, I wanted to try ipkg-builder in npm.

My work is connected with network security. We have a couple of IDS solutions, but they are too cumbersome. Therefore, I was tasked with assembling a compact version of IDS

It seems configure needed to know the architecture of the build. It compiles now. I've also updated it to suricata 4.0.4. But I have not tested the firmware to see if I needed to update the running config too. You may need to downgrade it to suricata 3.2 if it doesn't run
