All: After a week of testing, I will be rolling the new ./configure scripts into production this afternoon (US Central Time, GMT -6 hours). After the nightly snapshot is taken (Midnight in Pisa, GMT +1 hour), I will also roll the version #s to 2.1.52 and post 2.1.51 to SourceForge.
The announcement message to ntop-dev is here: http://lists.ntop.org/pipermail/ntop-dev/2002-October/001534.html Short version: ============== 1. We have new configure / make scripts for all platforms EXCEPT MinGW. These are a total rewrite - expect some problems. 2. Recognizing that the gnu loader favors .so (shared libraries) it finds in the standard locations (e.g. listing in /etc/ld.so.conf under Linux, et al), the new scripts will ignore your "instructions" if tools such as libpng are found installed. Be aware that this can cause version mis-match problems if you try and be too clever. The new scripts test for lots of things and then figure out what it means for ntop. Problems and critical information are listed in big "boxes". Read them... 3. The scripts work fine for me and I don't have any interest in further tweaking for tweaking's sake. 4. autoconf 2.5x is REQUIRED. This means that you will also have to have the associated versions of the other auto* tools (automake 1.5+ and libtool 1.4+). Understand that I expect some issues from the new scripts - unfortunately, the 224 people subscribed to ntop-dev have failed to extensively test them. Well, that's not STRICTLY, true - they've been tested (usually for just ONE ./configure parameter list) in the following platforms: FreeBSD 4.6.2 FreeBSD 4.7 (Stanley Hopcroft) HP-UX 11 (partially tested by Falk Hayn) Linux-RedHat7.2 Linux From Scratch3.0 Linux-Suse? (Peter Sinoros-Szabo) MAC OS X (Darwin AND Jaguar) (Luca) NetBSD 1.5.3 - single threaded only Solaris 8 (Tony Nelson) If you find problems, report them to the ntop-dev list. Make sure to give your ./configure command, indicate where the various tools should have been found, the versions of the tools you have and post the relevant portions of config.log A special thanks to Tony Nelson of Starpoint for providing resources for testing and to SourceForge for providing the compile farm. -----Burton _______________________________________________ Ntop mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listgateway.unipi.it/mailman/listinfo/ntop
