|
|

|
|
||||||
Thanks for all the help. I pulled the latest today (0.7.3), and after a
|
|
||||||
few fix-ups, I got it built. Here are the tweaks I needed to build it for
|
|
||||||
SGI IRIX 6.5 using gcc.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
==========
|
|
||||||
PROBLEM #1
|
|
||||||
==========
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Ethereal doesn't use RPATH (see ld(1) for shared library linking on all
|
|
||||||
platforms that support it (e.g. SGI IRIX, FreeBSD ELF, etc.), just
|
|
||||||
Solaris it appears. Instead, ethereal recommends use of the
|
|
||||||
LD_LIBRARY_PATH hack which causes all sorts problems.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
On SGI IRIX this is -rpath to the linker, on Solaris -R, on FreeBSD ELF
|
|
||||||
--rpath, etc.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
SOLUTION: Slip in my linker flags when configuring ethereal so it can
|
|
||||||
find libgtk, libgmodule, libsnmp, etc. at run-time without
|
|
||||||
LD_LIBRARY_PATH:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
env LDFLAGS="-rpath $HOME/software/gtk+-1.2.3/lib:$HOME/software/glib-1.2.3/lib:/usr/local/lib" configure --prefix=$HOME/software/ethereal-0.7.3 --with-gtk-prefix=$HOME/software/gtk+-1.2.3
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
BETTER SOLUTION: Modify configure to support RPATH for more platforms
|
|
||||||
than Solaris.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
[NOTE: configure is generated from configure.ac and acinclude.m4, and
|
|
||||||
all the linking stuff is done by libtool. We don't recommend the
|
|
||||||
LD_LIBRARY_PATH hack - perhaps we did so in the past, but we don't do so
|
|
||||||
now.]

PROBLEM #2
|
|
||||||
==========
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
__P not defined -- packet-snmp.c fails to build
|
|
||||||
(gcc version 2.95.1 19990816 (release), SGI IRIX 6.5.5f)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
SOLUTION: Include gnuc.h -- it defines it

[NOTE: we don't use the __P macro ourselves; some of the SNMP libraries
|
|

might, but that's a bug in the libraries if they require you to define
|
|

__P in order to use them.]

2. Patches to libpcap that may be necessary
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
On IRIX, older versions of the libpcap library use, in
|
|
||||||
"pcap_open_live()", the snapshot length passed in, without reducing it
|
|
||||||
to be less than or equal to the MTU of the interface. If the snapshot
|
|
||||||
length is larger than the interface MTU, IRIX will return an error; this
|
|
||||||
means that, for example, the Wireshark default snapshot length of 65535,
|
|
||||||
chosen so that all of the packet is captured, will not work.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Current versions of libpcap, from tcpdump.org, do not do so.
