| 1 | Compiling libtrace3 for WIN32 |
|---|
| 2 | ============================= |
|---|
| 3 | |
|---|
| 4 | libtrace3 provides a MSVC build environment to allow you to compile and run |
|---|
| 5 | the code in a Windows environment. |
|---|
| 6 | |
|---|
| 7 | There has been no extensive testing yet. Some of the format modules may be |
|---|
| 8 | broken. There may be dragons here. |
|---|
| 9 | |
|---|
| 10 | Visual Studio 2005 or greater is required. Development has been performed |
|---|
| 11 | using MS Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition. |
|---|
| 12 | |
|---|
| 13 | You will also need a correctly installed copy of the Platform SDK. The |
|---|
| 14 | Windows Server 2003 SP1 SDK was used for Development. |
|---|
| 15 | |
|---|
| 16 | To build libtrace using Visual Studio open the provided solution |
|---|
| 17 | 'libtrace.sln' this solution contains three projects: |
|---|
| 18 | |
|---|
| 19 | * libtrace.vcproj - The actual library, builds a DLL |
|---|
| 20 | * test-format.vcproj - Builds the test-format executable from test/ |
|---|
| 21 | * test-convert.vcproj - Builds the test-convert executable from test/ |
|---|
| 22 | |
|---|
| 23 | Before you compile libtrace you will need to copy config-win.h to config.h |
|---|
| 24 | in the top level directory. There is currently no integration with autoconf |
|---|
| 25 | or any of the standard GNU build tools. |
|---|
| 26 | |
|---|
| 27 | From the build menu select 'Build Solution'. After the build has completed |
|---|
| 28 | sucessfully execute the test-format and test-convert programs with the |
|---|
| 29 | following parameters |
|---|
| 30 | |
|---|
| 31 | test-format erf |
|---|
| 32 | test-format wtf |
|---|
| 33 | test-format pcapfile |
|---|
| 34 | |
|---|
| 35 | test-convert erf erf |
|---|
| 36 | test-convert pcapfile erf |
|---|
| 37 | |
|---|
| 38 | As each program completes it should output 'success: 100 packets read'. If |
|---|
| 39 | this string is not displayed there is a problem and debugging will be |
|---|
| 40 | required. |
|---|
| 41 | |
|---|
| 42 | The above invocations of test-format and test-convert are known to work in |
|---|
| 43 | the development environment. Other combinations of formats are not supported |
|---|
| 44 | at this time. |
