Make falco aborts with an error (undefined reference to `gsasl_check_version')

Description

I'm trying to compile falco from source and during the Linking CXX executable falco step the build aborts with an error.

The output looks like this:

[ 84%] Linking CXX executable falco
/usr/bin/ld: ../../curl-prefix/src/curl/lib/.libs/libcurl.a(libcurl_la-version.o): in function `curl_version':
version.c:(.text+0x92): undefined reference to `gsasl_check_version'
/usr/bin/ld: ../../curl-prefix/src/curl/lib/.libs/libcurl.a(libcurl_la-version.o): in function `curl_version_info':
version.c:(.text+0x19c): undefined reference to `gsasl_check_version'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

How to reproduce

$ cmake .. -DBUILD_BPF=ON -DUSE_BUNDLED_DEPS=ON
$ make -j4 falco

Expected behaviour

The build should complete successfully.

Environment

I'm running the latest archlinux version, but use the USE_BUNDLED_DEPS option to compile with the correct dependencies.

$ uname -r
5.18.1-arch1-1

$ openssl version
OpenSSL 1.1.1o  3 May 2022

I'm using the source version tagged with 0.32.0.

Hey! First time seeing an issue like this, so I'll try my best and see if we can scope it a little. Few questions:

  • Did this happen on any Falco code tag prior to 0.32.0?
  • It seems like the linker does't find gsasl in your system. Can you make sure it is correctly installed? (Maybe this may serve as reference: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/gsasl/)

Hey, thx for your response. I have gsasl installed and get the same error on the 0.31.1 tag.

Ok, I just managed to compile falco with the system dependencies :) I could then run it like this:

sudo FALCO_BPF_PROBE="$HOME/.falco/probe.o" falco -r all_cmds.yaml

That's great! Do you mean that you compiled with -DUSE_BUNDLED_DEPS=OFF?

Looking forward to hear more, and let me know if you are ok with closing this issue.

@NabeelShahid7 thanks for reaching out. This issue seems to be solved (gonna close it right now), but there's plenty of other issues you can start work on, either in this repository or in any other in the Falcosecurity org. I'd also suggest joining the Wednesday's community call and the Slack channel, introducing yourself and asking if there's anything you can help with!
