                                  Xipdump 1.5





I - Get, compile libpcap and libnet.


Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
Network Research Group
libpcap@ee.lbl.gov
ftp://ftp.ee.lbl.gov/

The Packet Factory
http://www.packetfactory.net/libnet ... last version (as far I know 1.0)!!!

Note: Systems which don't have a kernel filter might have problems since
pcap XtInputCallbackProc handler will be called at any time causing the
application to drive X server crazy (meanwhile it's possible to stop
flow with Ctrl-C). There is now possibility of forking pcap stuff for
such systems (-F option).

You won't have problem under alpha and *bsd. Using the file
contrib/pcap-linux.c and turning on LSF (Linux Socket Filter) in the kernel
might solve the problem for linux.  

II - Compiling


Make sure you have libpcap and libnet somewhere (by example in ..) then type:

	$ ./configure

It is also possible to specify path of libraries with configure options:

	$ ./configure --help

III - Porting


- If you encounter problems in compiling, you can have a look at the
files: mg_sysdep.c and mg_sysdep.h. All the work is
done to make the system dependent routines in these files.

Please send comments or patches to vianney@epita.fr.

Note: It has been ported successfully on *BSD, Linux and Solaris. Might 
compile on IRIX and Compaq Unix (formerly Digital Unix).

IV - Installing


Type:
	
	$ make install
