We have Suricata (stable and daily git master/upon commit builds ) ARM
packages ready for use for Ubuntu on PPA -
https://code.launchpad.net/~oisf/+recipe/suricata-daily-git-allarch-recipe
that go in the respective repos - for example (upon git master commit
or daily go in) here -
https://code.launchpad.net/~oisf/+archive/ubuntu/suricata-daily-allarch/+packages
I didnt need any special flags to build those either.
