[Iftop-users] Compiling the latest on an intel mac
by Kimball Larsen 26 Jan '07

So, I love iftop, and use it on many of the linux machines I admin for work. I recently purchased a new MacBookPro (one of the 17" Core 2 Duo models) and am running OS X 10.4.8, with the latest developer tools. I downloaded iftop-0.17pre2.tar.gz from freshmeat, and tried to do a ./configure and make. It puked. I noted your request for feedback, so here is the relevant info: kimball@cranky:~/Desktop/Downloads/iftop-0.17pre2 ./configure checking build system type... i386-apple-darwin8.8.2 checking host system type... i386-apple-darwin8.8.2 checking target system type... i386-apple-darwin8.8.2 checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for gawk... no checking for mawk... no checking for nawk... no checking for awk... awk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking whether we are cross compiling... no checking for suffix of executables... checking for suffix of object files... o checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking for gcc option to accept ANSI C... none needed checking for style of include used by make...

Sorry Please correct the error message is : "can't find pcap.h and you cannot go far without libpcap."

[Iftop-users] List dead?

Hi all, after having posted a message (one month ago) with an attached archive I was informed that my message needed moderation. Since I have not yet received any feedback my question now is whether this list is completely dead. Is it? pat.

Actually we have to implement iftop on Fedora 6 // When we tried to build it; it gave some problems regarding libpcap and pcap libraries // We used "./configure && make" to build iftop but it gave error as : "can't find iftop and you cannot go far without libpcap." But both pcap and libpcap are there in their locations, please suggest what we need to do // With thanks Neeraj Chowdhury On 1/22/07, pat <dwr-list(a)open.ch> wrote: > > Hi Neeraj, > > probably I don't get the question but iftop is already running under > Linux.

[Iftop-users] iftop without ncurses
by pat 15 Jan '07

15 Jan '07

Hi all, having used iftop for a couple of interesting network analyses now I found that a small enhancement could not be too wrong. This is what I would like to propose here. What I am trying to do is to adapt iftop to support a snapshot view of the traffic. Very much like 'have iftop run a while and then dump the result to stdout'. The thing is that curses must not be used for that case. I have written a patch that does the following stuff: - moved shared ui stuff into ui_common.c/ui_common.h - added -t option to turn off curses and dump everything to stdout - added -s option to have iftop run the indicated number of seconds and then stop it and dump only one screen of information Is there anybody that has the power to decide whether or not stuff is moved into the official sources and is willing to look at the things I have written? If there is, please let me know. I will be happy to provide you with the sources (sources not attached since moderation of long messages does not seem to work in this list). pat.
