DynIP Client for Unix Installtion December, 1999 To create the DynIP client binaries for your operating system follow these steps: (1) To untar the source files and documentation, issue the following command: tar -zxvf dynip_3.00.tar.gz Or, if your Unix system doesn't support the ``-z'' option: zcat dynip_3.00.tar.Z | tar -xvf - (2) Now change to the directory where the source files and documentation has been extracted to. cd dynip_3.00 (3) Run the Configure script to create the Makefile and build the program executables. The script will display a list of known systems and ask for the type of system if one is not provided on the command line. For instance, if you are running a Linux system, type: ./Configure linux To see the current known list, type ./Configure (4) type ``make install'' to install the binaries in your installtion directory. You must have write priviliges in this directory. The installation directory defaults to /usr/local/bin. (5) type ``make man'' to copy the man pages to the system man pages directory. You can then issue the ``man dynipadmin'' command or ``man dynipclient'' command to get more information on how to use these programs. The default man page directory is /usr/local/man/man1. (6) Run the dynipadmin program to register your Internet Name. See the man pages for more details. The binaries have been succesfully compiled on the following operating systems and hardware platforms: OS OS version Platform ====================================================================== FreeBSD 2.1.7-STABLE Intel FreeBSD 2.2-STABLE Intel FreeBSD 3.5 Intel FreeBSD 4.4 Intel Linux 2.0.30 Intel Linux RedHat 4.01 (k2.0.27) Intel Linux RedHat 5.1 Intel Linux RedHat 5.2 Intel Linux RedHat 6.0 Intel Linux RedHat 7.3 Intel Max OS/X X PowerPC OpenBSD unknown Intel OSF/1 V3.2D-2 Alpha OSF/1 V3.2G Alpha SunOS 5.3 Sparc SunOS 5.5.1 UltraSparc If you have to make changes to get this to compile/run on other Unix types, please send your (diff -c) patches to support@dynip.com. If it compiles without changes on other platforms, also please let us know and we'll ad them to the list above.
