INSTALL: Installation of NetLoadD

Download and Unpack the latest version of NetLoadD (from
http://www.purplepixie.org/netload).

For example:

$ gzip -d netloadd-1.5.1.tar.zg
$ tar -xvf netloadd-1.5.1.tar
netload/...

Once unpacked you can use the pre-compiled binaries or
compile your own. The binaries have been compiled with
gcc 2 for standard Linux aout format. In order to compile
NetLoadD you must have gcc 2 and (optionally) god.

The pre-compiled Dave Linked List object will work with
any gcc 2 compiler.

To compile netloadd, simply run BuildMe.sh which will
test for the existance of god (GoDave compiler support)
and use it or fallback onto straight gcc.

Although 1.5.1 has a system to optionally not compile
MySQL support into netload (thus not requiring the
MySQL libraries at compile and run time) this does not
work and you will need to have the MySQL development
packages installed.

Before compilation you may with to change the defaults
by editing the netloadd_config.h file and updating the
values given in the #define statements near the top of
the file all starting DEF.

DEF_Delay is in seconds and the other options are 1 for
on or 0 for off.

Once compiled a netloadd binary file will be placed in
the main directory. The user is then free to install this
binary wherever they wish (for example on their path in
/usr/local/sbin).
