talpa not compiling on opensuse 13.1

JamesSellars

I updated opensuse 13.1 (64bit) and run the command to recompile talpa and got an error message saying it could not compile talpa. This worked after I updated sophos anti-virus for linux  (the first time) but will not work now (will not compile them). There was a kernel update among the updates, I had a look and the post in the following link

https://community.sophos.com/products/free-antivirus-tools-for-desktops/f/4/t/11261

And my log file looks exactlly the same. How do I fix this??

    Unfortunately OpenSuSE isn't a supported platform, so talpa has to compile locally, it's possible SuSE have updated their kernel in a way which talpa doesn't understand.

    The first step is that you can try autodeploy.sh from https://gist.github.com/paperclip/7892031 to use the development version of talpa to see if that works.

    If that fails, you could post the failed configure log from talpa_select.log so we can see which kernel it is compiling against.

    Thanks.

    Yes, that sounds like SuSE have changed do_truncate in a way Talpa 1.20.2 doesn't understand.

    I'd suggest trying autodeploy.sh so see if latest Talpa handles it any better.

    I ran the autodeploy.sh script and got the following error message:

    ./autodeploy.sh: line 45: git: command not found
    Unable to clone git repository

    You need to install: git autoconf automake gcc make and kernel headers, so that you can try and compile Talpa locally for the source checkout.

    You should already have gcc make and kernel headers, otherwise the previous compilation would have failed earlier.

    I have installed git, but now I get the following error;

    fatal: destination path '.' already exists and is not an empty directory.
    Unable to clone git repository

    Do I need to put a path to a empty folder?? If so, how do I specify that to autodeploy.sh??

  • 0 in reply to JamesSellars

    Yes it needs a non-existent or empty directory.

    Either run autodeploy.sh in an empty directory, or give it an empty or non-existent directory as the first argument on the command-line when running autodeploy.sh

    I run it in a empty directory but it has still failed. It looks like the same error as before,  have pasted the output of the log below;

    I'm afraid that means that Talpa won't support your kernel without code changes. You'll have to use fanotify in order to get on-access scanning.
