Subject: Re: Installing Nessus on a machine without a C Compiler.

Dear Renaud,
Dear all,
at this point I have to ask you all:
is it really needed to let Renaud do all the things concerning 
creating binaries for all the platforms, all the distributions 
and so on ?

In my eyes it is a waste of manpower.
Wouldn't it be better to spend the time for developing new features,
plugins and so on?

In answer to the special question: Agree that porting to multiplatform is that 
building another Egyptian pyramid.

What I do is: I do scanning enterprise Navy net, use my NessusDBX database 
extension to keep all scans to generate reports, compare scans, and compare 
Nessus scans to other scanning or auditing SW reports/files.

(having some identical linux boxes)
-compiling nessus on a machine with compiler into a special empty directory
(e.g. /sectools/).
-find all the files, created within that dir.
-using EPM (http://www.easysw.com/epm/) to create an rpm package out of the
file list.
-install the rpm on the other machines without a compiler.
