Building iperf3
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
Building iperf3, as with most tools of this type, is a fairly
|
|
straightforward operation. The instructions in this section assume
|
|
that the source distribution has already been unpacked.
|
|
|
|
Prerequisites
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
iperf3 requires few (if any) dependencies on common operating
|
|
systems. The only known prerequesites are listed here.
|
|
|
|
* ``libuuid``: ``libuuid`` is not installed by default on Debian /
|
|
Ubuntu Linux systems. To install this, use this command before
|
|
building iperf3:
|
|
|
|
``apt-get install uuid-dev``
|
|
|
|
Building
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
In many cases, iperf3 can be built and installed as follows:
|
|
|
|
``./configure && make && make install``
|
|
|
|
In some cases, configuration might fail. If this happens, it might
|
|
help to run ``./bootstrap.sh`` first from the top-level directory.
|
|
|
|
By default, the ``libiperf`` library is built in both shared and
|
|
static forms. Either can be suppressed by using the
|
|
``--disabled-shared`` or ``--disable-static`` configure-time options.
