If this is beyond the scope of what can be asked for, please let me know.

I've taken my best shot at the MerSDK, but I'm not a software developer... and it shows. There is a phenomenal tool for network security called bro. I can download the source at https://www.bro.org/download/index.html and compile it on an Ubuntu-based linux. It's a standard fare with .configure/make/make install and a few dependencies.

I'm not expecting a complete walkthrough. I guess I'm just asking if anyone knows whether it should be possible to compile and run it on the Jolla.

Here is the list of dependecies as listed at their website . Bro requires the following libraries and tools to be installed before you begin:

Libpcap (http://www.tcpdump.org)
OpenSSL libraries (http://www.openssl.org)
BIND8 library
Libz
Bash (for BroControl)
Python (for BroControl)

To build Bro from source, the following additional dependencies are required:

CMake 2.6.3 or greater (http://www.cmake.org)
Make
C/C++ compiler
SWIG (http://www.swig.org)
Bison (GNU Parser Generator)
Flex (Fast Lexical Analyzer)
Libpcap headers (http://www.tcpdump.org)
OpenSSL headers (http://www.openssl.org)
zlib headers
Perl

I don't think all the above dependencies are available. Try openrepos you might get some packages like openssl , but meeting all dependencies would probably take time.

Flex, bison & bind9 you can find on my pages. I believe the remaining dependencies is already available, reminder- you need to use the -devel packages. https://build.merproject.org/project/show/home:nielnielsen

Remove the line in files section

%{_libdir}/libbroccoli.a

@Nieldk, yeah it wont take too much effort, i don't really have time right now, but feel free to copy the package and finish the job

I branched your work, and will give it a try
