Quick Instructions
==================
1. Get and install mandatory packages/tools
These instructions assume your system is already provided with
the normal source compile tools. Using their RedHat package
names, these are:
- glibc, glibc-devel, gcc, cpp
- gawk
- autoconf, automake
- openssl, openssl-devel (http://www.openssl.org)
- gdbm, gdbm-devel
- libpcap (http://www.tcpdump.org)
- ncurses
Most are gnu packages, available through http://www.gnu.org or your
favorite prebuilt package source.
2. Build chart libraries
- cd gdchart0.94c/
- ./configure
- cd gd-1.8.3/libpng-1.2.1
- cp scripts/makefile.[make your choice] Makefile
- make
- cd ../../zlib-1.1.4/
- ./configure
- make
- cd ..
- make
If you're using a gcc-powered system you can type
- cd gdchart0.94c/
- ./buildAll.sh
Note: make install - MAY be necessary for some systems.
3. Build ntop
- cd ntop
- ./configure
- make
- make install
4. Run ntop (See 1STRUN.txt)
- /usr/local/bin/ntop -A -u userid -P directory
where userid is the *nix userid you've created - with minimal
permissions - to run ntop
directory is the directory path where ntop will store
it's databases
- /usr/local/bin/ntop -u userid -P directory ...other parameters...
Note: Following these instructions builds static linked versions of
required libraries (gdchart, gd, libpng and libz), so that
ntop doesn't care about other versions installed on your system.
It may not be optimal, but it will get you started.
The problem is that across the universe of *nix systems, libraries
get installed in many different locations, making the Makefile
incredibly complex. The following patch to configure.in will change
./configure's behavior to look in slighly more normal configuration,
IF you set --with-gdchart-root=/usr or --with-gdchart-root=/usr/local
or whatever is appropriate to your situation.
This patch is NOT supported or guaranteed, use it as a starting point
for your unique situation.
