To allow the 'configure' script to locate the Septel +software distribution use the '--with-septel' option: + + ./configure --with-septel=DIR + +where DIR is the root of the Septel software distribution, for example +/var/src/septel. + +By default (if you write only ./configure --with-septel) it takes +./../septel as argument for DIR. + +If the Septel software is correctly detected 'configure' will +report: + + checking whether we have Septel API... yes + +If 'configure' reports that there is no Septel API, the directory may have been +incorrectly specified or the Septel software was not built before configuring +libpcap. + +See also the libpcap INSTALL.txt file for further libpcap configuration +options. + +Building libpcap at this stage will include support for both the native +packet capture stream and for capturing from Septel cards. To build +libpcap with only Septel support specify the capture type as 'septel' +when configuring libpcap: + + ./configure --with-septel=DIR --with-pcap=septel + +Applications built with libpcap configured in this way will only detect Septel +cards and will not capture from the native OS packet stream. + +Note: As mentioned in pcap-septel.c we should first edit the system.txt +file to change the user part example (UPE) module id to 0xdd instead of +0x2d for technical reason. So this change in system.txt is crutial and +things will go wrong if it's not done. System.txt along with config.txt +are configuration files that are edited by the user before running the +gctload program that uses these files for initialising modules and +configuring parameters. + +---------------------------------------------------------------------- +for more information please contact me : gil_hoyek@hotmail.com |
