I wanted to use Tele Traffic Trapper (TTT) under OS X, but ran into a few snags getting it to work. Here's the solution I found that allowed me to compile the package:
- Install Fink.
- Download and install the Fink TTT dependencies and dependencies-dev packages.
- Download TTT.
The configure script doesn't know know about Darwin, so you have to supply a few arguments:
./configure -build=powerpc --with-blt=/sw --with-tcl=/sw --with-tk=/sw
The program will now make successfully. Other arguments may work as well, and I didn't list all of the dependencies; they're documented in the package, but this worked for me with a default Fink install under 10.3.8.
[robg adds: The link above should be to the real TTT homepage, but I couldn't get it to load. I found this page, though, which has at least some version and a basic description of the package. Basically, it's similar to the network analysis program tcpdump, but it supports some additional features like 'real-time, graphical, and remote traffic-monitoring,' according to the linked page. I haven't tried to compile it.]
