Hi,
I'm trying to compile the latest NTOP version 4.1.0 on OpenBSD
RELEASE 5.0 x64 but am running into issues regarding automake and
autoconfig.
Basically I installed:
automake-1.11.1p2
autoconf-2.67
The install script comes up saying this:
# ./autogen.sh
Starting ntop automatic configuration system v.0.2.3
Please be patient, there is a lot to do...
1. Testing gnu tools....
You must have automake installed to compile ntop.
Download the appropriate package for your distribution, or get the
source tarball from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/automake
We recommend version 1.6.3 or higher
You must have autoconf installed to compile autogen.sh.
Download the appropriate package for your distribution, or get the
source tarball from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/autoconf
We recommend version 2.53 or higher
See how the metaauto port works. autoconf and automake are actually scripts
that depend on AUTOCONF_VERSION and AUTOMAKE_VERSION to select the right
ones.
Well I actually sort-of figured this out but turned out to be a very
messy hack and probably have broken other things..... meaning am totally
not sure of the implications of my actions!
I basically moved the autoconf and automake "scripts" to files called
auto*.scr,
then symlinked the highest versions of each software to automake and
autoconf respectively.
i have no idea down-the-line if this will break anything but for now it
works :-)

Kaya
