If you have not built libpcap, and your system does not have libpcap
installed, install libpcap first. Your system might provide a version
of libpcap that can be installed; if so, to compile tcpdump you might
need to install a "developer" version of libpcap as well as the
"run-time" version. You can also install tcpdump.org's version of
libpcap; see the README file in this directory for the ftp location.
You will need an ANSI C compiler to build tcpdump. The configure script
will abort if your compiler is not ANSI compliant. If this happens, use
the generally available GNU C compiler (GCC).
After libpcap has been built (either install it with "make install" or
make sure both the libpcap and tcpdump source trees are in the same
directory), run ./configure (a shell script). "configure" will
determine your system attributes and generate an appropriate Makefile
from Makefile.in. Now build tcpdump by running "make".
If everything builds ok, su and type "make install". This will install
tcpdump and the manual entry. Any user will be able to use tcpdump to
read saved captures. Whether a user will be able to capture traffic
depends on the OS and the configuration of the system; see the tcpdump
man page for details. DO NOT give untrusted users the ability to
capture traffic. If a user can capture traffic, he or she could use
utilities such as tcpdump to capture any traffic on your net, including
passwords.
Note that most systems ship tcpdump, but usually an older version.
Remember to remove or rename the installed binary when upgrading.
If your system is not one which we have tested tcpdump on, you may have
to modify the configure script and Makefile.in. Please send us patches
for any modifications you need to make.
Please see "PLATFORMS" for notes about tested platforms.
