How-to build/make/install
{disclaimer}...I've been using FreeBSD for about a year, so while I
consider myself still a n00b, I'm just not a complete n00b :) OS:
6.1-RELEASE
I really need some help building a package for install (if that's the
correct terminology).
hobbitmon is the next re-named version of big brother
http://hobbitmon.sourceforge.net/
I have downloaded the tar.gz file into /usr/local/etc
I extracted the tar using:
don-bsd# tar xvfz file.tar.gz
then I cd in to the directory
don-bsd# cd /usr/local/etc/hobbit-4.2.0
The directory listing is as follows:
don-bsd# pwd
/usr/local/etc/hobbit-4.2.0
don-bsd# ls -la
total 164

don-bsd#
The README says to simply
don-bsd# ./configure
don-bsd# make
don-bsd# make install
However, when I type ./configure from /usr/local/etc/hobbit-4.2.0
don-bsd# ./configure
Configuration script for Hobbit
This script asks a few questions and builds a Makefile to compile Hobbit
Checking your make-utility
GNU make is required to build Hobbit.
If it is available as "gmake", run configure as: 'MAKE=gmake
./configure.server'
