1.1       misho       1: 
                      2:                        How to install trafshow.
                      3: 
                      4: 
                      5: 1.  First, make sure the libpcap already installed into your system.
                      6:     See the README file in this directory for the minimum required version
                      7:     of libpcap and it distribution. Follow the INSTALL file of pcap library
                      8:     to build and install it.
                      9: 
                     10: 2.  Next, make sure you have already installed the curses library.
                     11:     The most systems has the ncurses as default curses library. Currently
                     12:     trafshow may be compiled with any curses library, configure script will
                     13:     detect the prefered curses that supports colors.
                     14: 
                     15: 3.  Now, decide whether you want to place trafshow and man page.
                     16:     The configure script option `--prefix' changes the root directory for
                     17:     installing trafshow (/usr/local by default). Use `--prefix=/usr' to
                     18:     replace your default trafshow distribution or just edit the BINDEST
                     19:     and MANDEST paths in Makefile.in.
                     20: 
                     21: 4.  Type `./configure' to determine your system attributes and libraries
                     22:     to generate an appropriate Makefile from Makefile.in and config.h from
                     23:     config.h.in.
                     24:     Some systems require unusual options for compilation of linking that
                     25:     the configure script does not know about. You can give `configure'
                     26:     initial values for variables by setting them in the environment. Using
                     27:     a Bourne-compatible shell, you can do that on the command line like
                     28:     this:
                     29:          CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix ./configure
                     30: 
                     31: 5.  Type `make' to build the trafshow program.
                     32:     Ignore any warnings, no error messages should be produced.
                     33:     If you system is not listed in the README as one which we have tested,
                     34:     you may have to modify the configure script, Makefile.in and probably
                     35:     config.h.in. Please send us patches for any modifications you need to
                     36:     make.
                     37: 
                     38: 6.  Login as root and type `make install'.
                     39:     This should install trafshow and man page into your system.
                     40:     It also copy example file of color configuration in /etc/trafshow, it
                     41:     not replaced if already there.
                     42:     By default, trafshow is installed with no any set-uid permission. So
                     43:     you would decide who must have access to the packet capture devices.
                     44:
