README.BINARY - v0.24.b12, 30-SEP-2007
Binary installation
To install QNetwatch simply copy the binary (qnetwatch) to a directory
in your PATH - /usr/local/bin is probably a good place for it.
Language files (*.qm) need to be placed in
/usr/local/share/qnetwatch/lang for this binary to find them. If you
want to store them in different
places, you have to use the source distribution and modify the
Makefile. If you
don't install language files at all, the only available language will
be US
English (although differently displayed).
The included help/documentation browser assumes its data to be stored
in /usr/local/share/qnetwatch/doc. Create this directory and copy all
.html files into it.
Shared library issues
LIBS.LDD has a list of required shared libraries (the ones used when
linking the binary). The provided
libqt.so or libqt-mt.so (depending if the binary was built for the
single- or
multi-threaded version of Qt) is a copy of the shared library used to
build the
binary. If your version of Qt is not sufficient, you may give this one
a try.
Same basically holds for libpcap.so if included - if not, the binary
was linked against the static pcap library and you don't need to worry.
Notes
Note that we do not recommend to use this binary distribution in a
secure environment, because the password encryption routines have been
setup
with the well-known default key, which means that stored passwords
could potentionally be
decrypted. We strongly advise you to specify a unique key, which is
only possible when QNetwatch is rebuilt from source!
