Recent port collection.
>Description:
The Ntop package uses a 'configure' script to configure the
compilation. To find the lsof executable, the configure.in file uses
the macro:
AC_PATH_PROG(LSOF_PATH, lsof, no)
which will find the lsof program in the current path. Since lsof is
installed in /usr/local/sbin and that this directory is rarely in the
PATH, it fails to find the executable.
>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/ports/net/ntop && make configure
>Fix:
Quick patch to configure.in:
anarcat$ diff -c configure.in*
*** configure.in Sat Jan 15 20:04:47 2000
--- configure.in.orig Sat Jan 15 20:04:19 2000
***************
*** 107,113 ****
dnl AC_REPLACE_FUNCS(vfprintf)
if test "x$enable_lsof" = "xyes"; then
! AC_PATH_PROG(LSOF_PATH, lsof, no, $PATH:/usr/local/sbin)
if test "$LSOF_PATH" = no; then
echo
--- 107,113 ----
dnl AC_REPLACE_FUNCS(vfprintf)
if test "x$enable_lsof" = "xyes"; then
! AC_PATH_PROG(LSOF_PATH, lsof, no)
if test "$LSOF_PATH" = no; then
echo
anarcat$
However, this will probably not have an effect to the FBSD port, since
the 'configure' script is executed, 'out-of-the-box' (? should it?).
So I suggest the following patch to 'configure':
*** configure Sat Jan 15 20:08:01 2000
--- configure.orig Sat Jan 15 20:07:47 2000
