make install fping

stup

1. download the source code in website : http://fping.org/

   wget http://fping.org/dist/fping-3.13.tar.gz

2. unzip the source code zip : fping-3.13.tar.gz

   tar -xvf fping-3.13.tar.gz

3. change to fping-3.13 install directory

   cd fping-3.13

4. Run ./configure with the correct arguments (see: ./configure –help)

   ./configure

5. Run make; make install

   make

   make install

   if display that error message like this at last line :
   Makefile:357: recipe for target ‘install-recursive’ failed
   and you should use super user right install

   sudo make install

   if you try to run like below and not run the next point will trouble in this situation.

   fping -v (null):
   can’t create socket (must run as root?) :
   Permission denied

   and then you try like this

   sudo fping -v
   fping: command not found

6. Make fping either setuid, or, if under Linux: sudo setcap cap_net_raw+ep fping

   chown root:root /usr/local/sbin/fping
   chmod u+s /usr/local/sbin/fping

7. Have a look at the fping(8) manual for usage help
   (fping -h will also give a minimal help output)

   fping -h
   fping -v

sumary

this is a good try, but I still don’t kown how to complete the step:

if under Linux: sudo setcap cap_net_raw+ep fping
