Hi Tilt, I will guide you to successfully compile both the GUI frontend and the CLI backend. If you have the source code, it should not be difficult to build both executables.
To compile and build the backend change directory to where the netman source directory is. i) cd netman/backend_src/src Invoke gcc as follows: ii) $ gcc -lm -I../include core_functions.c file_functions.c backend.c essid_encoder.c automated_scanner.c -o backend gcc should create an executable named backend. Please note that you need the math.h library. This was used to calculate the absolute power received from the surrounding wifis iii) Now cd back to where the Lazarus source files are as follows: cd ../../ Your path should change to netman/ To compile the Lazarus frontend, issue this command: fpc -MObjFPC -Scghi -O3 -Tlinux -vewnhi -Filib/x86_64-linux -Fl/opt/gnome/lib -Fu/usr/lib/lazarus/1.2.4/lcl/units/x86_64-linux/gtk2 -Fu/usr/lib/lazarus/1.2.4/lcl/units/x86_64-linux -Fu/usr/lib/lazarus/1.2.4/components/lazutils/lib/x86_64-linux -Fu/usr/lib/lazarus/1.2.4/packager/units/x86_64-linux -Fu. -FUlib/x86_64-linux -l -dLCL -dLCLgtk2 netman.lpr You should now find the netman executable in the same directory. To install copy backend and place it where you suggested me, ie in: /usr/lib/netman/bin And don't forget to change backend's ownership to that of root, ie issue this command: chown root:root backend And also give it an SUID belonging to root as follows: chmod u+s backend Create where to store the various wifi interfaces files as follows: mkdir /etc/network/wifi Edit the /etc/network/interfaces to contain: iface wlan0 inet dhcp but do not use "auto wlan0" Now, run netman, the frontend from wherever you decide and it should find the backend. To enable automatic connections, use the --auto-conn parameter when running the frontend. If you want me to implement indirect support for wlan1, eth1 please tell me. This can be done indirectly using a configuration file. Hopefully, that sets you going. I have been using netman since it has been a foetus of a few days.
