1If you have not built libpcap, and your system does not have libpcap
2installed, install libpcap first.  Your system might provide a version
3of libpcap that can be installed; if so, to compile tcpdump you might
4need to install a "developer" version of libpcap as well as the
5"run-time" version.  You can also install tcpdump.org's version of
6libpcap; see the README file in this directory for the ftp location.
7
8You will need an ANSI C compiler to build tcpdump. The configure script
9will abort if your compiler is not ANSI compliant. If this happens, use
10the generally available GNU C compiler (GCC).
11
12After libpcap has been built (either install it with "make install" or
13make sure both the libpcap and tcpdump source trees are in the same
14directory), run ./configure (a shell script).  "configure" will
15determine your system attributes and generate an appropriate Makefile
16from Makefile.in.  Now build tcpdump by running "make".
17
18If everything builds ok, su and type "make install".  This will install
19tcpdump and the manual entry.  Any user will be able to use tcpdump to
20read saved captures.  Whether a user will be able to capture traffic
21depends on the OS and the configuration of the system; see the tcpdump
22man page for details.  DO NOT give untrusted users the ability to
23capture traffic.  If a user can capture traffic, he or she could use
24utilities such as tcpdump to capture any traffic on your net, including
25passwords.
26
27Note that most systems ship tcpdump, but usually an older version.
28Remember to remove or rename the installed binary when upgrading.
29
30If your system is not one which we have tested tcpdump on, you may have
31to modify the configure script and Makefile.in. Please send us patches
32for any modifications you need to make.
33
34Please see "PLATFORMS" for notes about tested platforms.
