Hi there,
I would like to announce that Flow-tools 0.68 is currently running on
our HP-UX 11.11 PA-RISC 2.0 server! It took us 2 days but I guess the result
pays the work. Here's a short how-to of the process:
1. Get the necessary libraries and tools.
GCC 4.0.2, gettext 0.14.5 and libiconv 1.10 and gmake 3.8 for building.
Zlib 1.2.3 and tcp_wrappers 7.6 for Flow-tools dependencies.
Download the depot files from http://hpux.connect.org.uk and install with
swinstall.
2. Configure the HP-UX environment.
Put /usr/local/bin in the PATH (export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin)
Put /usr/local/lib in the LPATH (export LPATH=/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib)
For permanent settings, change /etc/PATH and /etc/LPATH.
3. Patch Flow-tools 0.68.

The later is a bit tricky: what you need to do is to disable IP multicast,
putting Flow-tools running on unicast only. I simply inserted #undef's for
IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP and IP_ADD_SOURCE_MEMBERSHIP in the beggining of every source
file that uses them (src/flow-capture.c, src/flow-receive.c, src/flow-fanout.c
and src/flow-send.c). There must be a clever way to do this!
Also, you'll need to fix a bug in flow-capture.c (Flow-tools developers check
this!). Line 592 has a syntax error:
fterr_err(1, "bind(%s)", inet_ntoa(ftnet.loc_addr.sin_addr)));
... as you can see, there's an extra ")" in the end!
4. Compile and install Flow-tools.
./configure
gmake
gmake install
5. Final thoughts.
I compared the outputs of two flow-receive's running on Linux and HP-UX,
capturing from the same Cisco router: they were exacly the same. So, I trust in
the HP-UX flow-receive build. Next steps: test flow-capture and the other tools.
Thanks for the support guys!
