We are starting a project that will involve experimenting with the source code of RAT and VIC. Basically, we want to extend the configuration options that are available in the command line and start-up scripts to allow more control over the various features when the tools are launched. I can tell you more about that later if you are interested, but my question is about the development environment.
What compiler is required to build RAT and VIC on the Windows and UNIX platforms? Is it just the GNU tools for UNIX? For Windows I understand that the developers might be using Visual Studio .NET. Is this correct? If so, if we have to go out and buy a new version of this software, does it matter which of the 3 editions we get? Can we do it all with the Professional edition, or do we need one of the Enterprise editions? Another question concerns the CVS repository. There appears to be two locations where the source code for RAT and VIC are stored: /ag-media/rat or /ag-media/vic /ag-rat or /ag-vic Which of these is the current project? We hope to be able offer anything useful that we come up with back to the project. -- Andrew Patrick, Ph.D. Senior Scientist Information Security Group, Institute for Information Technology National Research Council (NRC), Ottawa, Canada E-mail: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> WWW - NRC: http://iit-iti.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca WWW - Personal: http://www.andrewpatrick.ca Phone: (613) 991-3374 Fax: (613) 952-7151 Cell: (613) 277-9211
