General Preconditions

This HowTo has been tested with Debian Etch/Lenny. Some steps described may vary depending on the used distribution. Following packages must be installed:

If you don't have install a precondition package you can install the package (on Debian/Etch) with:

$ aptitude update
$ aptitude install build-essential libxerces27-dev libltdl3-dev

Or (on Debian/Lenny) with:

$ aptitude update
$ aptitude install build-essential libxerces-c2-dev libltdl3-dev

Step 0: Download TNCUtil

Download current version (e.g. v0.4) of TNCUtil source files.

Step 1: Extract TNCUtil

Extract the TNCUtil tar-archive in the current directory. You can extract the archive with:

$ tar -xzf TNCUtil-src_[version].tar.gz

Step 2: Configure TNCUtil

Now switch to the new directory with

$ cd TNCUtil

And run configure script. Since we are working with linux, set the argument appropriate. See --help option for more details:

/TNCUtil$ ./configure linux

Step 3: Compile TNCUtil

In order to compile TNCUtil, run make script.

$ make

When make is finished, a new archive libTNCUtil.a resides in the build subdirectory.

Step 4: Install TNCUtil

$ make install

After that, the library is installed in /usr/local/lib/ and the header files are copied to /usr/local/include/TNCUtil/.

Finished

Congratulations, you've just finished to build and install TNCUtil.
