1.1       misho       1: Installation instructions for iftop

                      3: 
                      4: 
                      5: iftop is now autoconf/automake-enabled. You should be able to build it on
                      6: common platforms by typing `./configure && make'.
                      7: 
                      8: There is one gotcha, however, which is that some systems, such as FreeBSD,
                      9: lack a working implementation of the gethostbyaddr_r(3) C library function. On
                     10: such systems, you may want to use the --with-resolver=ares configure option to
                     11: build a version of iftop which uses the ARES asynchronous DNS library for name
                     12: resolution. An alternative is to use --with-resolver=netdb_1thread, which will
                     13: make iftop run only one name resolution thread. This is not recommended.
                     14: 
                     15: On some systems (notably Red Hat Linux) the libpcap header files are installed
                     16: under /usr/include/pcap; on these systems, you should manually specify this
                     17: when running configure, like this:
                     18: 
                     19:     $ CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/include/pcap ./configure
                     20: 
                     21: 
                     22: For historical interest, the old iftop makefile is included in Makefile.OLD.
