As using up till now Mingw version 1.1, I switched to MingW version 2.003. With both versions I could compile Ntop until version 2.1.3 After this version till 2.1.56 I could not compile Ntop and got 2 errors : main.o(.text+0x1f3a):main.c: undefined reference to `getopt_long' plugin.o(.text+0x290):plugin.c: undefined reference to `rrdPluginEntryFctn' make: *** [ntop] Error 1
which I can fix as mailed earlier, but it is not the right way. I know Ntop compiling via Mingw has lowest priority for design team. Allthough I attach the doc for Mingw version 2 Ntop build. cheers Jac
Jac Engel d.d. 03-01-30 Description how to build ntop on Win2k using the MinGW toolchain (MinGW allows you to build native win32 binaries linked against the Microsoft runtime and not the cygwin runtime). Building Ntop ------------- This was last tested against the stable release ntop-2.1.3 from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=17233 Prerequisites: 1) MinGW (available from http://www.mingw.org) This was tested against MinGW-2.0.0-3.exe Note: -I installed it in C:\Mingw2 -copied mingw32-make.exe to make.exe 2) GNU Make (available from http://www.mingw.org) This was tested with GNU Make v3.79.1, (comes with MinGW-2.0.0-3.exe) 3) WinPCAP developer's pack (available from http://winpcap.polito.it/install/bin/WinPcap_2_3.zip This was tested with Release 2.3 of WinPcap Note: I unzipped (use folder names) it in C:\Mingw2 and executed C:\Mingw2\WPdpack\Drivers\WinPcap_2_3.exe 4) gdbm for win32/mingw (from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingwrep) This was tested with gdbm-1.8.0-20010430.zip Note: I unzipped (use folder names) it in C:\Mingw2\gdbm 5) ntop (available from sourceforge.net ) This was tested with stable version ntop-2.1.3 http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ntop/ntop-2.1.3.tar.gz?download Note: I unzipped (use folder names) in C:\ntop-2.1.3 6) UnxUtils package UnxUtils.zip at: http://www.wzw.tu-muenchen.de/~syring/win32/UnxUtils.html Note : I unzipped only patch.exe and rm.exe to C:\mingw2\bin rm.exe is required as defined in ntop\makefile.mingw to make ntop. Patch.exe is only required if diff files are available. Steps 1) Install all prerequisites and Open Dos command box and CD to C:\ntop-2.1.3\ Add to PATH variable C:\Mingw2\bin\ path C:\MinGW2\bin\;%path% ( don't forget the last backslash !) 2) Edit the ntop/Makefile.mingw and fill in the following values: INC_GDBM (where the gdbm header files can be found) INC_WPDPACK (where the winpcap header files can be found) LIB_GDBM (where libgdbm.a is found) LIB_WPDPACK (where libwpcap.a os found ) result : INC_GDBM=-Ic:/Mingw2/gdbm/include INC_WPDPACK=-Ic:/Mingw2/wpdpack/include LIB_GDBM=-Lc:/Mingw2/gdbm/lib LIB_WPDPACK=-Lc:/Mingw2/wpdpack/lib 3) Build the sub-components (starting from the ntop-current directory) 3a) Build zlib cd gdchart0.94c/zlib-1.1.4 make -f Makefile.mingw cd ../.. 3b) Build libpng cd gdchart0.94c/gd-1.8.3/libpng-1.2.1 make -f scripts/makefile.mingw cd ../../../ 3c) Build gd cd gdchart0.94c/gd-1.8.3 make -f Makefile.mingw cd ../.. 3d) Build gdchart cd gdchart0.94c make -f Makefile.mingw cd .. 4) Build ntop itself cd ntop make -f Makefile.mingw 5) Package ntop and the dependent files Create directory e.g. C:\ntop , copy ntop.exe and the html subdirectory hierarchy. Ntop dependent files are libgdm-2.dll and wpcap.dll. Copy libgdbm-2.dll (exists in C:\Mingw2\gdbm\bin) to C:\ntop ( wpcap.dll exists in C:\WINNT\system32 after install of WinPcap2_3.exe , so this dir is already in your PATH variable ) . 6) Use it Execute ntop.exe from the install directory. Run ntop in console : ntop.exe /c <options> Run ntop as a service : ntop.exe /i <options> You can get command line help by running ntop.exe -h
