Basically, I'm going to direct you to the MinGW home page, http://www.mingw.org.
You need to read and understand what MinGW is - I will tell you it's not got
ANYTHING to do with the NT resource kit, it's a minimal Unix-like environment
running under Windows.

"MinGW is a collection of header files and import libraries that allow one to
use GCC and produce native Windows32 programs that do not rely on any 3rd-party
DLLs. The current set of tools include GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), GNU Binary
Utilities (Binutils), GNU debugger (Gdb) , GNU make, and a assorted other
utilities. We are currently working on creating a complete set of Mingw-hosted
GNU toolchain, and looking for volunteers.

At the basic level, MinGW is a set of include files and import libraries that
allow a console-mode program to use Microsoft's standard C runtime library
MSVCRT.DLL (available on all NT systems, and on all stock Win9x after the
original Windows 95 release (for which it can be installed separately)). Using
this basic runtime, you can write console-mode ANSI compliant programs using GCC
and use some of the extensions offered by MS C runtime, but cannot use the
features provided by the Windows32 API. The next critical piece is the w32api
package, which is a set of includes and import libraries to enable the use of
Windows32 API, and combined with the basic runtime, you (potentially) have full
access to both the C Runtime (CRT) and Windows32 API functionality. Please see
the licensing information on the various pieces."

You will need to read and follow the instructions there to get a MinGW
environment up.

Then you can successfully follow the docs/BUILD-MINGW.txt file to build ntop.

Subject: RE: [Ntop] ntop filter expression


After spending weekend trying to build 2.0.99 and the lates built in MinGW I
am back.

> 1. Try ntop -Z
> (it should complain that -Z isn't a valid parameter)
it displays help

> 2. Try ntop -- -t 3 ...
still the same - it ignores the filter expression

> docs/BUILD-MinGW.txt
I did download the latest snapshoot and the 2.0.99 (ntop-02-04-03) and I did
follow instructions in docs/BUILD-MinGW.txt but I have not succeeded.
- The makefile does not seem to be for NT (it uses some unix commands like
rm etc..., anyhow, I installed the NT resourcekit which does have the
commands).
- The makefile tried to compile some files which are in the obsolete
directory. So I have deleted their name from the makefile....it looks like
the makefile is not the latest one ;-)
- it did not succeed compiling the files from plugins directory...I compiled
them maually
...so I get at the end of compilation, but...
plugin.o(.text+0x214):plugin.c: undefined reference to
`sflowPluginEntryFctn'

...and I gave up.

Well I knew the compilation in NT would not be straight forward and using
linux or solaris is not an option for me, that's why I have registered to
get the compiled version. Unfortunatelly the filters seems not to work in
2.0 under NT. Can someone please compile the NT 2.0.99 version (or whatever
version supporting the -B parameter) and put to the ftp server so I can
download it. Thank you.

Kind Regards

Vaclav Chaloupka
