If you want to test the function, download the bootable CD. It's a 50MD distribution that doesn't touch your hard drive and has OWFS (owfs, owserver and owhttpd) already configured. The best way to build is to grab a version from the CVS: cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/owfs co owfs (blank password if it asks) Then: ./bootstrap ./configure --disable-swig make sudo make install There are also instructions for installing on routers, or distributed over a network, or even on the Mac. Paul Alfille Note: You will still need FUSE if you want filesystem access. You need libusb if you want USB device support (the DS9490) You need swig for perl, php, python support. (Unless you use filesystem calls). Web browser and network support have few dependencies, so will work on Mac, Solaris, and BSD. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
