You should be able to build it on +common platforms by typing `./configure && make'. + +There is one gotcha, however, which is that some systems, such as FreeBSD, +lack a working implementation of the gethostbyaddr_r(3) C library function. On +such systems, you may want to use the --with-resolver=ares configure option to +build a version of iftop which uses the ARES asynchronous DNS library for name +resolution. An alternative is to use --with-resolver=netdb_1thread, which will +make iftop run only one name resolution thread. This is not recommended. + +On some systems (notably Red Hat Linux) the libpcap header files are installed +under /usr/include/pcap; on these systems, you should manually specify this +when running configure, like this: + + $ CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/include/pcap ./configure + + +For historical interest, the old iftop makefile is included in Makefile.OLD. + -- cgit v1.2.3
