Trouble installing vsftpd builddegs.h compile error
Code:
gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.4.3 20041212 (Red Hat 3.4.3-9.EL4)

Code:
Linux 2.6.9-5.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed Jan 5 19:30:39 EST 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Code:
vsftpd built 3.0.2

I am seeing this error when I try to implement the steps outlined for installing vsftpd:

Code:
# make
gcc -c main.c -O2 -fPIE -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4  -Wall -W -Wshadow -Werror -Wformat-security -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2   -idirafter dummyinc
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-fstack-protector"
cc1: error: invalid parameter `ssp-buffer-size'
make: *** [main.o] Error 1


It seems that the compiler is choking on the '-fstack-protector' option. Can I get some guidance on what is wrong? Is it versioning? I realize that RHEL4 is old but I don't have any control over that and have to work w/what I am given.

Please forgive my ignorance if I have referred to some term or concept incorrectly...still learning!

Regards,

I do not believe that (old) version of GCC supports the stack protection option. Just delete those compiler options.

Probably easier to upgrade GCC.
