It should run on other systems without too much trouble.
-NOTE: the Makefile appears to depend on GNU "make"; it doesn't appear to
-work with the "make" that comes with Solaris 7 nor the BSD "make".
-
-In addition, wiretap (see below) requires "flex" - it cannot be built
-with vanilla "lex" - and either "bison" or the Berkeley "yacc"; whilst
-the "yacc" that comes with Solaris 7 has a "-p" flag to replace "yy" in
-various variable names with a specified prefix, to allow multiple
-yacc-built parsers in the same program, it doesn't replace "yy" in the
-"y.tab.h" file, so the lexical analyzer has no clue that "yylval" has
-been renamed to "wtap_lval". (What *were* they thinking?)
-
-You must therefore install GNU "make", "flex", and either "bison" or
-Berkeley "yacc" on systems that lack them.
Full installation instructions can be found in the INSTALL file.
