                  net.sourceforge.jpcap build information


  Build Procedure

    0. These instructions are only relevant if you fetched the jpcap 
       .tar.gz or source RPM distribution and are interested in 
       working on jpcap or developing applications which utilize jpcap.

       If you downloaded the binary RPM and only wish to run the 
       jpcap tools, see README.


    1. Before you build the project you must have installed and in your path

      o JDK1.2+
      o gmake


    2. The script scripts/env_jpcap is an example environment setup script.
       A typical environment setup sequence would look something like:

         # setup java environment
         export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.3
         export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
         export CLASSPATH=$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/rt.jar

         # setup your jpcap development environment
         . ~/YOUR_WORKSPACE/sourceforge/jpcap/scripts/env_jpcap


       The env_jpcap contains a PROJECT_HOME environment variable which 
       you must edit to point to your jpcap cvs workspace.


    3. Although the project compiles and runs under JDK1.2, JDK1.3.1 is highly 
       recommended. (1.3.0_02 is ok, but isn't very stable on Linux.) 
       In general, the performance of the 1.3 VM is superior to 1.2.
       The difference is especially noticable in jpcap when using 
       the graphical component of net.sourceforge.jpcap.client.CaptureTool
       to visualize network traffic.

       The project has also been tested and works with the JDK1.4 beta.
