compile error under fedora34

[cheese1]

fedora34 has a to modern compiler and this breaks compilation as follows:

ar -cr libnids2.a checksum.o ip_fragment.o ip_options.o killtcp.o libnids.o scan.o tcp.o util.o allpromisc.o hash.o
ranlib libnids2.a

A little late to the party...

google CXX_STANDARD and dynamic exception specifications for C++17 to understand the issue.

This (set c++ std to 11) worked for me on Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS:

apt-get install -y build-essential libboost-all-dev && \
cd /tmp && \
rm -rf /tmp/justniffer && \
git clone https://github.com/onotelli/justniffer && \
cd justniffer && \
./configure CXXFLAGS='-std=gnu++11 -g -O2 -w' && \
make && \
make install
