Installing Captagent on Debian 11 not working correctly

Hello,

now it worked!
i rm the whole usr/src/captagent directory and git clone again captagent, made the edit in configure.ac and now all went through... looks like ./build.sh doesn't work well, if there is ./build already once executed in directory.

Thanks @ciscospirit for the test and the confirmation.
I'll do some test and probably I'll create a debian11 branch with that fix in the configure.ac and put some comment about that.
The idea is then create captagent compatible 100% with gcc-10, but this required various change, so for now this is the best way to deal with it.
Thanks a lot again.

I think there is already #239, which fixes this issue. @kYroL01

if i try to use gcc-9 instead of gcc on Debian 11 (apt-get install gcc vs. apt-get install gcc-9) i got an error by command "./configure --enable-ssl --enable-tls --enable-ipv6":

checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl.exe... no
configure: error: in /usr/src/captagent': configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH See config.log' for more details

Thank you @ciscospirit .

1. Debian 11 has gcc-10 by default, so if you install apt-get install gcc, it will install version 10.
   In this case you can solve it change this line https://github.com/sipcapture/captagent/blob/master/configure.ac#L115
   with this
   CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -g -O0 -Wno-error -fcommon"
   and run again

./build.sh
./configure --enable-ssl --enable-tls --enable-ipv6
make && make install

2. If you have installed gcc-9 you have to symlink the version 9 on Debian 11 in this way:
   sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-9 /usr/bin/gcc
   and then place the same line as before
   CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -g -O0 -Wno-error -fcommon"
   and then

./build.sh
./configure --enable-ssl --enable-tls --enable-ipv6
make && make install

I think this will solve your problem - I tested on a Debian 11 VM

i already tried this to change this Line 115 in /usr/src/captagent/configure.ac but still got the same problem.

make && make install is not working and bring out the above error.

i have this gcc installed:

gcc -v

i have this OS installed: bullseye (11.0) 5.10.0-8-amd64 SMP (ext4)

[ciscospirit]

could it possible that i maybe miss some depencies installing?

i installed this:
apt-get install libexpat1-dev libpcap-dev libjson-c-dev libtool automake flex bison libgcrypt11-dev libuv1-dev libpcre3-dev libfl2 libfl-dev

but if i try apt-get install gcc there are some more suggested packages and recommended packages which i didn't installed with this:

The following additional packages will be installed:
cpp
Suggested packages:
cpp-doc gcc-multilib manpages-dev autoconf automake libtool flex bison gcc-doc
Recommended packages:
libc6-dev | libc-dev
The following NEW packages will be installed:
cpp gcc

@ciscospirit
I reproduced exactly the same situation on a new Debian11 and in the way I suggest you I solve the problem for gcc-10.
Could you please try from scratch again and install all the pkgs suggested ?
The -Wno-error -fcommon must do the trick here.

@btriller I test today and I'll merge it. Wanted to be sure this was tested more and have different feedback.
Thank you all! and as Alex said, star us :D
