Comment:
'''[(Almost) Solved]'''
I make this a '''low priority documentation enhancement'''!
The README says that we must do
{{{
To build Tor from source:
./configure && make && make install
}}}
Proposition:
{{{
To build Tor from source:
./configure && make && make install
(or use the build procedure specific to your distribution)
}}}
Indeed, the documentation could also hint other specific ways of
building/compiling according to the distribution. Otherwise the trouble is
that with Debian/Ubuntu '''it works''' but in the end you get an
executable with strange behavior like the one above.
For those who might search, here is how to make it work instead of
./configure && make:
{{{
apt-get install build-essentials fakeroot dpkg-dev
apt-get build-dep tor
fakeroot debian/rules binary
}}}
In the end you get a .deb repackaged with your newly compiled source.
- same size as the Ubuntu stock binary
- same default config files
- works with MaxCircuitDirtiness

linux-binary-package/
'''(Almost)''' because I am now wondering how I will get a working Debian
Package when I'll try the 0.3.1.8 (or more recent) from the tor git/tar.gz
Also a small signature issue since I don't have the private key of the
initial Debian/Ubuntu maintainer, I can't obviously re-sign the package...
but that is non tor related!
