| Specific installation instructions |
| ================================== |
| |
| In addition to what is described in the INSTALL file, the following |
| specifics apply to the tftp-hpa package: |
| |
| The tftp-hpa package supports the following options to ./configure: |
| |
| --without-tcpwrappers |
| Disables the use of the tcp wrapper library. This is |
| recommended, for performance reasons, on high-use sites. |
| Kernel-based firewalling is, in general, a better alternative. |
| |
| --without-remap |
| Disables the use of regular-expression-based filename |
| remapping (the -m option to tftpd). |
| |
| --without-readline |
| Disables the use of the readline command-line editing library |
| in the tftp client. |
| |
| The default prefix for the tftp-hpa package is /usr, with the tftp |
| client installing as /usr/bin/tftp and the tftpd server installing as |
| /usr/sbin/in.tftpd on most systems. This can be overridden by setting |
| --bindir and --sbindir. |
| |
| "make install" supports specifying an INSTALLROOT, which points to |
| what will be the root of the filesystem at runtime; this is typically |
| used when preparing packages for package-management systems. |
| |
| You almost certainly will need GNU make to build tftp-hpa. If you |
| don't already have it, you can find GNU make at: |
| |
| ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/make/ |
| or |
| ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/gnu/make/ |
