From 5a7e28ca4645f88850af498a9a28fa5dea0f14b4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gilbert Ramirez Date: Fri, 9 Jul 1999 04:18:36 +0000 Subject: Added the ability to create a read-only ethereal, i.e., one that doesn't link with libpcap, so no packet captures can be made. The "--disable-pcap" option has been added to the configure script. Docs have been updated. And the string buffer size in the simple_dialog() has been doubled so that Johan's e-mail address in the "About" dialogue window doesn't get chopped off. svn path=/trunk/; revision=351 --- INSTALL | 11 +++++++---- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) (limited to 'INSTALL') diff --git a/INSTALL b/INSTALL index 977ae86340..54bd27f5ec 100644 --- a/INSTALL +++ b/INSTALL @@ -9,8 +9,7 @@ Installation Checklist http://www.gtk.org . - Ethereal should work with the latest 1.0.x version, as well as - the latest 1.2.x version. + Ethereal needs gtk+-1.2.0 or above.
