Hello all,

I was wondering if anybody could help me with compiling the flow-tools using cygwin on Windows Server 2003. My current installation of Cacti is on a Windows server running IIS, and I would like to utilize the Flowview plugin. I would scrap the installation and move it to Linux except that is not currently option given the fact that I work in a "Windows-heavy" environment.

Unfortunately, when I run:

./configure
make
...

I receive the following error(s):

$ make install
Making install in lib
make[1]: Entering directory `/flow-tools-0.66/lib'
if gcc -I. -I./lib -I. -I. -I. -g -Wall -g -Wall -MT ftio.o -MD -MP -MF ".dep
s/ftio.Tpo" \
-c -o ftio.o `test -f 'ftio.c' || echo './'`ftio.c; \
then mv ".deps/ftio.Tpo" ".deps/ftio.Po"; \
else rm -f ".deps/ftio.Tpo"; exit 1; \
fi
In file included from ftio.c:30:

make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

This is my first time attempting to do anything with cygwin so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance!

I know of only a few people who have actually gotten it to compile under Windows, but I have never seen a binary myself, so good luck.

Just because you work in a Windows heavy environment doesn't mean you have to use Cacti on Windows. I had a job a while back where the only Linux box was my Cacti box.

Thanks Jimmy.

I'm thinking that this is a great excuse to get a linux server up and running as my NMS.
