| This document attempts to explain how to get tcpreplay compiled and running | |
| under Windows. Please note that this document is a work in progress and | |
| Windows support in general considered EXPERIMENTAL right now. | |
| Background: | |
| Tcpreplay is not a native Win32 application right now. Hence it requires | |
| Cygwin. (http://www.cygwin.com). Cygwin creates a Linux-like environment | |
| on your Windows system which allows Linux/UNIX programs to run after a | |
| recompile. | |
| Tcpreplay supports numerous API's for sending packets depending on the | |
| operating system. Under Windows, the only supported method of sending | |
| packets is with WinPcap 4.0. (http://www.winpcap.org) Please be sure to | |
| install both the WinPcap driver AND the developer pack. | |
| Right now, I've only done testing under Windows XP. My guess is that 2000 | |
| and 2003 should have no problems. Since WinPcap and Cygwin are EOL'ing | |
| support for Win98/ME, I doubt that they'll ever be supported. Not sure | |
| the story on Vista, but I assume WinPcap & Cygwin will support them sooner | |
| or later if not already. Would love to hear if anyone has any luck one | |
| way or another. | |
| What you will need: | |
| - Cygwin environment | |
| - GCC compiler and system header files | |
| - WinPcap 4.0 DLL | |
| - WinPcap 4.0 Developer Pack aka WpdPack (headers, etc) | |
| Additional requirements if building from SVN: | |
| - GNU build chain tools (Autoconf, Automake, Autoheader) | |
| - GNU Autogen (*) | |
| * NOTE: The guile package which comes with Cygwin is broken and breaks | |
| Autogen, so you'll need to compile guile from scratch to fix. Hence, I | |
| strongly suggest you build Tcpreplay from the tarball and not SVN. See | |
| below for how to "fix" this issue if you want to compile from SVN. | |
| ******************************* IMPORTANT ****************************** | |
| Note 1: | |
| People have reported problems with WpdPack (the developer pack for | |
| Winpcap) being installed outside of the Cygwin root directory. Hence, I | |
| strongly recommend you install it under the Cygwin root as /WpdPack. | |
| Note 2: | |
| There's a big problem with the Cygwin Guile package which breaks | |
| GNU Autogen which Tcpreplay depends on when building from Subversion. | |
| What this means is that to build from Subversion you must do the following: | |
| - Download GNU Guile from http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/guile.html | |
| - Extract the tarball and do the following: | |
| libtoolize --copy --force | |
| ./configure | |
| make | |
| make install | |
| This will install guile in /usr/local. | |
| The other problem is that guile-config returns the linker flags in the wrong | |
| order. To fix this, rename /usr/local/bin/guile-config to | |
| /usr/local/bin/guile-config.original and create a new shell script in it's | |
| place: | |
| ---- BEGIN SHELL SCRIPT ---- | |
| #!/bin/bash | |
| # Replacement /usr/local/bin/guile-config script | |
| if test -z "$1" ; then | |
| guile-config.original | |
| elif test "$1" == "link"; then | |
| echo "-L/usr/local/lib -lguile -lltdl -lgmp -lcrypt -lm -lltdl" | |
| else | |
| guile-config.original $1 | |
| fi | |
| ---- END SHELL SCRIPT ---- | |
| ******************************* IMPORTANT ****************************** | |
| Directions: | |
| - Install all the requirements | |
| - Enter into the Cygwin environment by clicking on the Cygwin icon | |
| - If you checked out the code from SVN, see Note 2 above and then run | |
| the autogen.sh bootstrapper: | |
| ./autogen.sh | |
| - Configure tcpreplay: | |
| ./configure --enable-debug | |
| - Build tcpreplay: | |
| make | |
| - Install: | |
| make install | |
| - Try it out! | |
