netcount 8c installation ( Counts the ip Traffic of ppp0 )

[fred24]

Does somebody has installed successfully the netcount software (Version 8c or earlier) for which still no emerge package available.

I modified the config.make
and added the following lines

IP_UP_GENTOO = /etc/ppp/ip-up
IP_DOWN_GENTOO = /etc/ppp/ip-down
INIT_GENTOO = /etc/runlevels/default


Further I added into the Makefile

ifneq ($(shell grep -i gentoo /etc/issue),)
DIST = GENTOO
endif


####### GENTOO
else
ifeq ($(DIST), GENTOO)
$(IP_UP_GENTOO): netcount-ip-up-local
./add-script.sh $< $@ netcount
chmod +x $@

$(IP_DOWN_GENTOO): netcount-ip-down-local
./add-script.sh $< $@ netcount
chmod +x $@

$(INIT_GENTOO): netcount-init
./add-script.sh $< $@ netcount
chmod +x $@

dist-objects = $(RCRONDIR)/netcount $(IP_UP_GENTOO) $(IP_DOWN_GENTOO) \
$(INIT_GENTOO)

uninstall:
rm -f $(RCRONDIR)/netcount $(common-objects)
@echo
@echo
@echo '*****'
@echo Please check $(IP_UP_GENTOO), $(IP_DOWN_GENTOO),
@echo and $(INIT_GENTOO) manually for specially marked
@echo netcount-specific content and remove it.


-e s:@IP_DOWN_GENTOO@:$(IP_DOWN_GENTOO):g \
-e s:@IP_UP_GENTOO@:$(IP_UP_GENTOO):g \
-e s:@INIT_GENTOO@:$(INIT_GENTOO):g \

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

By starting the installation I get the error.

# make install GENTOO

Makefile:171: *** Illegal or no value for DIST. Please read the file INSTALL, and run make according to the instructions found there. Stop.

In the area of the line 171 is:

######## No valid distribution given
else
$(error Illegal or no value for DIST. \
Please read the file INSTALL, and run make \
according to the instructions found there)
endif
endif
endif
endif

I found the error.
I forgot to add an endif.

To Install the netcount8.c type:
# make install DIST="GENTOO"


The diff shows the original netcount8.c Makefile an the modifed one.

# diff Makefile ../netcount-0.8c/Makefile
