Installing SSH Tectia Server from the Source Code
If pre-compiled binaries from SSH Communications Security are not
available for your particular Unix or Unix-like platform (such as
Tru64), you can compile the source code yourself.
The source code is available separately upon request. Please contact SSH
Tectia technical support at
http://www.ssh.com/support/contact.
In order to compile the source code, you need the following:
- an ANSI C compiler (
gcc is available from the Free
Software Foundation's GNU project, http://gcc.gnu.org)
- development libraries for your operating system.
Copy the source package to your machine. Then run the following commands
(note that make install must be run with root privileges):
$ gzip -dc ssh-<v>.tar.gz | tar xvf -
$ cd ssh-<v>
$ ./configure
$ make
# make install
You can enable or disable certain functionality when you compile
SSH Tectia Server. To use the optional functionality, make sure you
use the following syntax:
$ ./configure --[option]
The most common configure options are listed below, but
additional options not listed here are also available. Type
./configure -- help for more information.
