Where did you get the plugin from, and do you have $BRO_SRC set? This plugin has recently moved, had a release, and became a package. The documentation you point to is outdated at this point, and updated documentation is a part of a release that's currently being voted on.
Please use bro-pkg to install this, or go directly to https://github.com/apache/metron-bro-plugin-kafka Bro dist is definitely in configure, https://github.com/apache/metron-bro-plugin-kafka/blob/master/configure#L86 Jon On Thu, Dec 21, 2017, 00:16 pele_smk <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm following the instructions for building the bro Kafka plugin and I'm > getting an error with the --bro-dist option does not exist in ./configure > > The command: > ./configure --bro-dist=$BRO_SRC > > The instructions I'm following: > > https://metron.apache.org/current-book/metron-sensors/bro-plugin-kafka/index.html > > The --enable-sasl option exists in the configure and works fine > > ./configure --enable-sasl > > > > Am I missing something obvious? > > Thanks, > Daniel > -- Jon
