Description

Hello, I'd like to use AFL Fuzzer within ModSecurity. Sadly AFL doesnt come with my Operating System so I've to compile it myself with AFL by Google and AFLPlusPlus by AFLPlusPlus. Sadly the building at ModSecurity always fail with the same error as stated in #2431 . Can someone give me a hand using it?
