Most of the popular distros contain cntlm packages in their repositories. For Windows an installer is available.
You can use the procedures described below to prepare a package of current cntlm version if desired.
NOTE: generating packages traditionally requires root privileges (to be able to set proper ownership and permissions on package members). You can overcome that using fakeroot. However, to install your packages you have to be root.
make tgz
or
make tbz2
make deb
Get these files (e.g. apt-get source cntlm):
cntlm_0.XX-X.diff.gz
cntlm_0.XX-X.dsc
cntlm_0.XX.orig.tar.gz
Compile:
dpkg-source -x cntlm_0.XX-Y.dsc
cd cntlm-0.XX/
dpkg-buildpackage -b -rfakeroot
Upon installation, the package takes care of creating a dedicated user for cntlm, init script integration, manages eventual configuration file updates with new upstream versions, things like restart of the daemon after future updates, etc. You can later revert all these changes with one command, should you decide to remove cntlm from your system.
make rpm # you'll need root privs. or fakeroot utility
To build an RPM package from scratch, as root change to /usr/src/[redhat|rpm|whatever]/SOURCES
Copy there all files from cntlm's rpm/ directory plus appropriate version of the source tar.bz2 (see Creating a SOURCE TARBALL section above) and type:
rpmbuild -ba cntlm.spec
Shortly after, you'll have source and binary RPMs ready in your ../SRPMS, resp. ../RPMS directories.
If your build cannot find the default config file in /etc, you probably have broken RPM build environment. You should add this to your ~/.rpmmacros:
%_sysconfdir /etc
If you just want to create a binary package from src.rpm, as root type:
rpmbuild --rebuild pkgname.src.rpm
Resulting binary RPM will be at /usr/src/..../RPMS
If your build cannot find the default config file in /etc, you probably have broken RPM build environment. You should add this to your ~/.rpmmacros:
%_sysconfdir /etc
Install Cygwin and include at least the gcc-core, make, ghostscript, dos2unix, zip, and cygrunsrv packages using, for example, the following options:
setup-x86_64.exe -qgdO -l C:\cygwin64\var\cache\setup -R C:\cygwin64 -s http://cygwin.mirror.constant.com -P gcc-core -P make -P ghostscript -P dos2unix -P zip -P cygrunsrv
Start a Cygwin console by using the shortcut on your desktop or startup menu.
From within the Cygwin command shell:
cd /cygdrive/yourdrive/your_ctnlm_src_location
export CC=gcc
./configure
make
Prepare all binaries, manuals, config templates, Start Menu links, InnoSetup project definition file, installer:
make win
Now this automatically creates the installer.
Alternative, run this command, which does these steps, too:
C:\cygwin64\bin\bash -e -l -c "cd /cygdrive/yourdrive/your_ctnlm_src_location && make distclean && ./configure && make && make win"
For manually creating the installer you can do this:
Run InnoSetup compiler to pack it all into an automatic installer EXE:
/your/path/to/ISCC.exe win/setup.iss
or
Open folder "win" in explorer, right click "setup.iss" and select "Compile".
Both will generate an installer in the "cntlm" folder.
First, you have to compile cntlm. Using the Makefile, this should be very easy:
./configure
make
make install
Cntlm does not require any dynamic libraries and there are no dependencies you have to satisfy before compilation, except for libpthreads. This library is required for all threaded applications and is very likely to be part of your system already, because it comes with libc. Next, install cntlm onto your system like so:
Default installation directories are /usr/local/sbin, /usr/local/share/man and /etc. Should you want to install cntlm into a different location, change the DESTDIR installation prefix (from "/") to add a different installation prefix. To change the location of binaries and manual (from "/usr/local") use PREFIX. To change individual directories, use BINDIR, MANDIR and SYSCONFDIR:
make SYSCONFDIR=/etc BINDIR=/usr/bin MANDIR=/usr/share/man
make install SYSCONFDIR=/etc BINDIR=/usr/bin MANDIR=/usr/share/man
Cntlm is compiled with system-wide configuration file by default. That means whenever you run cntlm, it looks into a hardcoded path (SYSCONFDIR) and tries to load cntml.conf. You cannot make it not to do so, unless you use -c with an alternative file or /dev/null. This is standard behavior and probably what you want. On the other hand, some of you might not want to use cntlm as a daemon started by init scripts and you would prefer setting up everything on the command line. This is possible, just comment out SYSCONFDIR variable definition in the Makefile before you compile cntlm and it will remove this feature.
Installation includes the main binary, the man page (see "man cntlm") and if the default config feature was not removed, it also installs a configuration template. Please note that unlike bin and man targets, existing configuration is never overwritten during installation. In the doc/ directory you can find among other things a file called "cntlmd". It can be used as an init.d script.
The build system now has an autodetection of the build arch endianness. Every common CPU and OS out there is supported, including Windows, MacOS X, Linux, *BSD, AIX.
Cntlm is tested against GCC, Clang and IBM XL C/C++, other C compilers will work for you too. There are no compiler specific directives and options AFAIK. compilers might work for you (then again, they might not). Specific Makefiles for different compilers are supported by the ./configure script (e.g. Makefile.xlc)
