Installation Checklist
|
||||
======================
|
||||
Installation
|
||||
============
|
||||
|
||||
[ ] 0. This is alpha software. Beware.
|
||||
|
||||
[ ] 1. Make sure you have GTK+ installed. Try running 'gtk-config
|
||||
--version'. If you need to install/reinstall GTK, you can find
|
||||
it at
|
||||
These are installation instructions for Unix and Unix-like systems
|
||||
that can run the "configure" script in this same directory. These
|
||||
are not the installation instructions for Windows systems; see
|
||||
README.win32 for those instructions.
|
||||
|
||||
http://www.gtk.org .
|
||||
0. This is alpha software. Beware.
|
||||
|
||||
Ethereal needs gtk+-1.2.0 or above.
|
||||
1. If you wish to build Ethereal, make sure you have GTK+ and GLIB
|
||||
installed. Try running 'gtk-config --version' and
|
||||
'glib-config --version' to see if you have them installed.
|
||||
Ethereal needs versions 1.2.0 or above of both these packages.
|
||||
If you need to install or re-install GTK+ or GLIB, you can find
|
||||
the packages at:
|
||||
|
||||
If you installed GTK+ from a binary package, you may have to
|
||||
install a "development" package; there may be separate "user's"
|
||||
and "developer's" packages, with the former not including
|
||||
header files and the like. For example, Red Hat users will
|
||||
need to install a "gtk-devel" .rpm.
|
||||
http://www.gtk.org
|
||||
|
||||
[ ] 2. If you want to capture packets, make sure you have libpcap
|
||||
installed. The latest "official" version can be found at
|
||||
|
||||
http://www.tcpdump.org .
|
||||
If you installed GTK+ from a binary package, you may have to
|
||||
install a "development" package; there may be separate "user's"
|
||||
and "developer's" packages, with the former not including
|
||||
header files and the like. For example, Red Hat users will
|
||||
need to install a "gtk-devel" .rpm.
|
||||
|
||||
If you've downloaded the 0.5.2 version, make sure you install
|
||||
the headers ('make install-incl') when you install the library.
|
||||
The CVS snapshots will install the headers if you do 'make
|
||||
install', and have no 'install-incl' target.
|
||||
2. If you wish to build Tethereal, the line-mode version of Ethereal,
|
||||
make sure you have GLIB installed. See note #1 above for instructions
|
||||
on checking if you have GLIB installed. You can download GLIB from
|
||||
the same site as GTK.
|
||||
|
||||
If you installed libpcap from a binary package, you may have to
|
||||
install a "development" package; for example, there's
|
||||
apparently a "libpcap0" Debian package, but it just includes a
|
||||
shared library, a copyright notice, changelog files, and a
|
||||
README file - you also need to install a "libpcap-dev" package
|
||||
to get header files, a non-shared library, and the man page.
|
||||
Similarly, Red Hat 5.x users will need to install a "libpcap-devel"
|
||||
.rpm to go along with the "libpcap" .rpm.
|
||||
3. If you want to capture packets, make sure you have libpcap
|
||||
installed. The latest "official" version can be found at
|
||||
|
||||
[ ] 3. Run './configure' in the Ethereal distribution directory.
|
||||
Running './configure --help' displays a list of options.
|
||||
The file 'INSTALL.configure' contains general instructions for
|
||||
using 'configure' and 'make'.
|
||||
http://www.tcpdump.org .
|
||||
|
||||
Ethereal installs a support file (manuf) in /usr/local/etc by
|
||||
default. You can change this location with the --sysconfdir
|
||||
option.
|
||||
If you've downloaded the 0.5.2 version, make sure you install
|
||||
the headers ('make install-incl') when you install the library.
|
||||
The CVS snapshots will install the headers if you do 'make
|
||||
install', and have no 'install-incl' target.
|
||||
|
||||
The --disable-pcap option allows you to compile without libpcap.
|
||||
You won't be able to capture packets, but you can read traces
|
||||
that have already been captured to disk by other programs.
|
||||
If you installed libpcap from a binary package, you may have to
|
||||
install a "development" package; for example, there's
|
||||
apparently a "libpcap0" Debian package, but it just includes a
|
||||
shared library, a copyright notice, changelog files, and a
|
||||
README file - you also need to install a "libpcap-dev" package
|
||||
to get header files, a non-shared library, and the man page.
|
||||
Similarly, Red Hat 5.x users will need to install a "libpcap-devel"
|
||||
.rpm to go along with the "libpcap" .rpm.
|
||||
|
||||
You can build or not build ethereal, tethereal, editcap, and
|
||||
mergecap with the appropriate --enable-XXX or --disable-XXX
|
||||
flags. The default is to build everything. If GTK+ is not
|
||||
detected on the system, then ethereal won't be built.
|
||||
4. Run './configure' in the Ethereal distribution directory.
|
||||
Running './configure --help' displays a list of options.
|
||||
The file 'INSTALL.configure' contains general instructions for
|
||||
using 'configure' and 'make'. Ethereal has some
|
||||
non-generic configure options:
|
||||
|
||||
[ ] 4. Run 'make'. Hopefully, you won't run into any problems.
|
||||
--sysconfdir=DIR
|
||||
Ethereal installs a support file (manuf) in ${PREFIX}/etc by
|
||||
default, where ${PREFIX} comes from --prefix=DIR. If you do not
|
||||
specify any --prefix option, ${PREFIX} is "/usr/local".
|
||||
You can change the location of the manuf file with the --sysconfdir
|
||||
option.
|
||||
|
||||
[ ] 5. Run './ethereal', and make sure things are working. You must
|
||||
have root privileges in order to capture live data.
|
||||
--disable-usr-local
|
||||
By default 'configure' will look in /usr/local/{include,lib} for
|
||||
additional header files and libraries. Using this switch keeps
|
||||
'configure' from looking there
|
||||
|
||||
[ ] 6. Run 'make install'. If you wish to install the man page, run
|
||||
'make install-man'. If you're running a system that supports
|
||||
the Apt, RPM, or System V Release 4 packaging systems, you can
|
||||
run one of
|
||||
--disable-ethereal
|
||||
By default, if 'configure' finds the GTK+ libraries, the Makefile
|
||||
build Ethereal, the GUI packet analyzer. You can disable the
|
||||
build of the GUI version of Ethereal with this switch.
|
||||
|
||||
make debian-package # Builds a binary package using dpkg
|
||||
make rpm-package # Builds a binary package using rpm
|
||||
make srpm-package # Builds a source package using rpm
|
||||
make svr4-package # Builds a source package using pkgmk
|
||||
make solaris-package # Same as "make svr4-package"
|
||||
--disable-tethereal
|
||||
By default the line-mode packet analyzer, Tethereal, is built.
|
||||
Use this switch to avoid building it.
|
||||
|
||||
to make an installable package for your system.
|
||||
--disable-editcap
|
||||
By default the capture-file editing program is built.
|
||||
Use this switch to avoid building it.
|
||||
|
||||
--disable-mergecap
|
||||
By default the capture-file merging program is built.
|
||||
Use this switch to avoid building it.
|
||||
|
||||
--disable-text2pcap
|
||||
By default the hex-dump-to-capture file conversion program
|
||||
is built. Use this switch to avoid building it.
|
||||
|
||||
--disable-idl2eth
|
||||
By default the IDL-to-ethereal-dissector-source-code converter
|
||||
is built. Use this switch to avoid building it.
|
||||
|
||||
--enable-dftest
|
||||
By default the display-filter-compiler test program is not built.
|
||||
Use this switch to build it.
|
||||
|
||||
--enable-randpkt
|
||||
By default the program which creates random packet-capture files
|
||||
is not built. Use this switch to build it.
|
||||
|
||||
--without-pcap
|
||||
If you chose to build a packet analyzer that can analyze
|
||||
capture files but cannot capture packets on its own, but you
|
||||
*do* have libpcap installed, use --without-pcap to avoid
|
||||
using libpcap.
|
||||
|
||||
--with-pcap=DIR
|
||||
Use this tell Ethereal where you have libpcap installed, if in a
|
||||
non-standard location.
|
||||
|
||||
--disable-zlib
|
||||
By default, if 'configure' finds zlib (a.k.a, libz), the
|
||||
wiretap library will be built so that it can read compressed
|
||||
capture files. If you have zlib but do not wish to build
|
||||
it into the wiretap library, used by Ethereal, Tethereal, and
|
||||
the capture-file utilities that come in this package, use
|
||||
this switch.
|
||||
|
||||
--disable-ipv6
|
||||
If 'configure' finds support for IPv6 name resolution on
|
||||
your system, the packet analyzers will make use of it.
|
||||
To avoid using IPv6 name resolution if you have the support for it,
|
||||
use this switch.
|
||||
|
||||
--enable-setuid-install
|
||||
Use this switch to install the packet analyzers as setuid.
|
||||
Installating Ethereal and Tethereal as setuid 'root' is
|
||||
dangerous. Repeat: IT'S DANGEROUS. Don't do it.
|
||||
|
||||
--with-ssl=DIR
|
||||
If your SNMP library needs the SSL library, and your
|
||||
SSL library is installed in a non-standard location,
|
||||
you can specify where your SSL library is with this switch.
|
||||
|
||||
--disable-snmp
|
||||
If 'configure' finds a supported SNMP library on your system,
|
||||
the SNMP dissector will be enhanced to use the SNMP library.
|
||||
Use this switch to avoid using the SNMP library even if you
|
||||
have it installed.
|
||||
|
||||
--with-ucdsnmp=DIR
|
||||
Tell the 'configure' script where your UCD SNMP library
|
||||
is located, if not in a standard location.
|
||||
|
||||
--without-plugins
|
||||
By default, if your system can support run-time loadable modules,
|
||||
the packet analyzers are build with support for plugins.
|
||||
Use this switcht to build packet analyzers without plugin support.
|
||||
|
||||
--with-plugins=DIR
|
||||
By default, plugins are installed in
|
||||
${LIBDIR}/ethereal/plugins/${VERSION}
|
||||
|
||||
${LIBDIR} can be set with --libdir, or defaults to ${EPREFIX/lib}
|
||||
${EPREFIX} can be set with --exec-prefix, or defaults to ${PREFIX}
|
||||
${VERSION} is the Etherael version.
|
||||
|
||||
Use this switch to change the location where plugins
|
||||
are installed.
|
||||
|
||||
5. After running './configure', you will see a summary of some
|
||||
of the options you chose. Ensure that the summary reflects
|
||||
what you want. If it doesn't, re-run './configure' with new options.
|
||||
|
||||
6. Run 'make'. Hopefully, you won't run into any problems.
|
||||
|
||||
7. Run './ethereal' or './tethereal', and make sure things are working.
|
||||
You must have root privileges in order to capture live data.
|
||||
|
||||
8. Run 'make install'. If you wish to install the man page, run
|
||||
'make install-man'. If you're running a system that supports
|
||||
the Apt, RPM, or System V Release 4 packaging systems, you can
|
||||
run one of
|
||||
|
||||
make debian-package # Builds a binary package using dpkg
|
||||
make rpm-package # Builds a binary package using rpm
|
||||
make srpm-package # Builds a source package using rpm
|
||||
make svr4-package # Builds a source package using pkgmk
|
||||
make solaris-package # Same as "make svr4-package"
|
||||
|
||||
to make an installable package for your system.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have trouble with the build or installation process, you can
|
||||
find assistance on the ethereal-users and ethereal-dev mailing lists.
