Hakan, FYI I use the .NET compiler for building ntop on Win32.
Cheers, Luca

Well Burton,
Merry Christmas and I fired up my VC++6 (sp6) on XP (sp2)but it seems You are right, probably less work to learn Linux than to compile on M$. The problem seems to be the enviroment with all those #define, #undef and to get a stable env.
After trying to "just compile" for a day as Luca said I'm still trying to find the proper winsock2.h accepting sockaddr_storage....
and after that there is still a few hundred errors and warnings......
MinGW I dropped yesterday..Easier to go for Linux......
Thank's for the inspiration, I'll try to set up a Feodora box and start learning.
Don't see any Feodora package but it's maybe just RedHat??
Best regards
Hakan

The step-by-step instructions in docs/BUILD-MinGW.txt are the gospel. Gisle
Vanem <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote them up based on his success last May. AFAIK,
that's all there is...
FWIW, it's really not that hard to use Linux at the command line level like
you (and I, old man) are used to. Grab a hold of one of the run-from CD
versions. They all do a pretty good job of detecting hardware. There are
plenty of articles on the web on how-to. One that looks useful is at
http://www.linuxgazette.com/node/9666.
You could even cheat and use Microsoft's Virtual PC 2004. Although only
Windows is officially supported, almost everything else works - I've got my
whole test & build environment in there now, FreeBSD 4/5, Slowloris 10,
Gentoo, SuSE, Debian, RedHat, Fedora and a few others. I've got 10-15 VMs
now - although I can't run them all at once, nothing other than Slowloris
takes more than 45 seconds to boot up. Plus things like Windows 98SE w/
IE5.01 for html testing. Saves a lot of time, vs. rebooting Tigger for each
OS. All you need is some RAM, $100-150 and some free HD space.
