Hi,
I think that I have a network performance problem, so I wanted to
install the latest ntop (2.1.2) on Solaris. After one hour of trying to
build it, I abandon because it is becoming for me too expensive to
do it. The difficulties I had:
1) The archive uncompresses in 'ntop' and 'gdchart0.94c'. The scripts I
use for building make the assumption that package ntop-version.tar.gz
uncompresses in ntop-version.
2) The configure script uses flags called --with-gdbm-root,
--with-pcap-root, etc. to specify a single directory where both
include and libraries are stored. It would be much easier for me if
instead separate flags for the path of the respective libraries and includes
where used. For example: --with-libpcap-includes=xxx and
--with-libpcap-libraries=yyy.
3) gdbm is obsolete, I had to build this especially for ntop.
4) When I finally did succeed in ./configure-ing:
$ gmake
cd . && aclocal
cd . && automake --gnu Makefile
Makefile.am:62: DIST_COMMON was set with `=' and is now set with `+='
automake: configure.in: required file `./depcomp' not found
gmake: *** [Makefile.in] Error 1
The generation of configure and the .in files with the auto-tools should
really only be done by the developers before making a tar-ball. Only
'configure' should be enough for me. Maybe you could use a separate
Makefile for developers Makefile.cvs with the rules for configure,
etc.?
If you could fix this problems it would be great, I really would like to
measure the bandwidth usage per-host.
Cheers
David
