Installation Instructions
-------------------------
1. If you are using the Git tree, you will need m4, gettext, automake, and
autoconf. To start out, run:
./tools/setup
For more detail, see the developer guidelines at
<http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/developer-guidelines.html>.
2. Run the configure script to initialize variables and create a Makefile,
etc.
./configure --prefix=BASEDIRECTORY --with-cgiurl=SOMEURL
Replace `BASEDIRECTORY` with the path of the directory under which Nagios
is installed (default is `/usr/local/nagios`), and replace `SOMEURL` with
the path used to access the Nagios CGIs with a web browser (default is
`/nagios/cgi-bin`).
3. Compile the plugins with the following command:
make
4. Install the compiled plugins and plugin scripts with the following
command:
make install
The installation procedure will attempt to place the plugins in a
`libexec/` subdirectory in the base directory you specified with the
`--prefix` argument to the configure script.
5. There are some plugins that require setuid. If you run make install as
a non-root user, they will not be installed. To install, switch to root
and run:
make install-root
That's it! If you have any problems or questions, feel free to send an
email to <nagiosplug-help@lists.sourceforge.net>.
