Requirements: * >=automake-1.9 * >=libpcap-0.8 * flex and bison * libwandio (get it from http://research.wand.net.nz/software/libwandio.php) Optional: * DAG libraries (both 2.4 and 2.5 versions are supported) ---------------------------------- Installing libtrace: ./bootstrap.sh (only if you've cloned the source from GitHub) ./configure make make install The above series of commands will install libtrace into /usr/local/lib. If you wish to install to a non-standard location, append the --prefix=DIR option to the ./configure command. ./configure also takes a number of other options - run ./configure --help to view a comprehensive list. You may need to add the library location (e.g. /usr/local/lib) to your /etc/ld.so.conf and run 'ldconfig' as root. ---------------------------------- Installation FAQ: Q. I've installed libpcap but I'm still getting the following error: "libpcap0.8 or greater is required to compile libtrace. If you have installed it in a non-standard location please use LDFLAGS to specify the location of the library"? A. You need to install the development version of the pcap library. For example, Ubuntu/Debian users will need to install the libpcap0.8-dev package in addition to the libpcap0.8 package. Q. What operating systems do you support? A. Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X and OpenBSD. Windows is not supported. ---------------------------------- Using libtrace: The best source of information on how to use libtrace and the tools that come with it is the libtrace wiki located at http://www.github.com/wanduow/libtrace/wiki
