ntop win32-mingw patch and notes
|
|
Enclosed is a patch to ntop-01-11-06.tgz that can be used to build ntop
on win2k with the MinGW compiler suite (gcc linked against the MS
runtime). Since the patch shouldn't interfere with other platforms
(though it does need to be tested under non-mingw32 builds), it may be
worth checking in to the repository.
The remainder of this note describes how to build ntop on win2k using
the MinGW toolchain (MinGW allows you to build native win32 binaries
linked against the Microsoft runtime and not the cygwin runtime).
This was last tested against the 2001-11-06 snapshot from
http://snapshot.ntop.org.
Prerequistes:
1) MinGW (available from http://www.mingw.org)
This was tested against MinGW-1.1.tar.gz
2) GNU Make (available from http://www.mingw.org)
This was tested with GNU Make v3.79.1, (comes with MinGW-1.1)
2) WinPCAP developer's pack (available from
http://netgroup-serv.polito.it/winpcap/install/bin/WPdpack.zip)
This was tested with Release 2.2 of WinPcap
3) gdbm for win32/mingw (from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingwrep)
This was tested with gdbm-1.8.0-20010430.zip
4) ntop (available from http://www.ntop.org)
This was tested with http://snapshot.ntop.org/tgz/ntop-01-11-06.tgz
Steps
1) Install all prerequisites
2) Apply the patch distributed with these notes. This patch adds
the appropriate Makefiles and redefines a few preprocessor
conditionals to values more appropriate for MinGW.
2) Edit the ntop/Makefile.mingw and fill in the following values:
INC_GDBM (where the gdbm header files can be found)
INC_WPDPACK (where the winpcap header files can be found)
LIB_GDBM (where libgdbm.a is found)
LIB_WPDPACK (where libpcap.a is found)
If you're using a separate gdchart, gd, libpng, or libz, you'll
also need to change the include and library paths for these as well.
3) Build the sub-components (starting from the ntop-current directory)
3a) Build zlib
cd gdchart0.94c/zlib1.1.3
make -f Makefile.mingw
cd ../..
3b) Build libpng
cd gdchart0.94c/gd-1.8.3/libpng-1.0.8
make -f scripts/makefile.mingw
cd ../../../
3c) Build gd
cd gdchart0.94c/gd-1.8.3
make -f Makefile.mingw
cd ../..
3d) Build gdchart
cd gdchart0.94c
make -f Makefile.mingw
4) Build ntop itself
cd ntop
make -f Makefile.mingw
5) Package ntop and the dependent files
Into the install directory, copy ntop.exe and the html
subdirectory hierarchy.
Ensure that the appropriate DLL's are in your path. For this
build, that includes libgdbm-2.dll and wpcap.dll.
6) Use it
Execute ntop.exe from the install directory. You can get command
line help by running ntop.exe -h
