Confused..

Ok, hopefully someone can help me here. I was running 1.2 Rel 4, then switched to the latest 1.2 Stable release. Then i wanted to compile and use fprobe so i went to the latest developers which looks like 1.2-BETA-1-TESTING-SNAPSHOT-05-02-07, fprobe compiled OK and works but other things such as the traffic graph is broken.

What version SHOULD i be using? I need additional functions like gcc and the like to compile some 3rd party applications but dont know what version to use.

Thanks.

On your firewall, 1.2 Release. On the host that you use to build packages, anything you want ;)

I'd suggest you use something like VMWare if you don't have spare hardware to run your development host on.

Thanks for the reply Havok, but maybe i wasnt clear regarding my intentions. I want to compile fprobe on my firewall. What is the best build to use for this? It seems that gcc isnt installed on the non-dev builds.

Thanks

I'm suggesting you take a different approach. Rather than doing development on your firewall (which is a Bad Thing from a security perspective), do your development elsewhere, create a package and then install that package on the firewall.

Questions regarding development builds are probably best taken to Development forum.
