Thank you very much Burton for your help.
More explaination:
1. OK.
2. I have used the file BUILD-MinGW.txt (attached) to build ntop.exe, so I
used gdbm-1.8.0-20010430.zip from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingwrep,
I have also just tried with gdbm 1.8.0 2002-02-22 on page
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=23617&release_id=76525
, but I obtain the same result. gdbm seems to be correctly installed
(testgdbm.exe is working).
3. My current directory is c:/cygwin/ntop/ntop, I have the rights to create
files.
4. Sorry for the error DnsCache.db and not Database.db, EXACT error message:
-------
$ ntop.exe
Wait please: ntop is coming up...
23/Apr/2002 10:27:05 Initializing IP services...
23/Apr/2002 10:27:05 Initializing GDBM...
23/Apr/2002 10:27:05 Database './dnsCache.db' open failed: unknown gdbm
errno
23/Apr/2002 10:27:05 Possible solution: please use '-P <directory>'
-------
Regardind the ntop source version it's the 2.0 (ntop-2.0-src.tgz) downloaded
from http://snapshot.ntop.org/, on Download->Stable, on the 18th of April
2002.
Where the problem(s) could come from?
Cheers,
Christophe

1. You should have your password - it's whatever YOU used to signup with...
besides, you can only post by sending a message to the list address.
2. Are you sure you have gdbm installed? Correctly? Which version?
3. What is the current directory? (do a cd command to check) Do you have
rights to create files in that directory? Otherwise you need to use the -P
parameter to point at a directory you do have rights to...
4. Cut & paste the EXACT error message - Database.db doesn't appear in ANY
of my versions of ntop... in fact, what version are you running... Please
see "HOWTO ask for help" at http://snapshot.ntop.org

Subject: [Ntop-dev] ntop on windows 98
I have received the welcome Ntop-dev mailing list mail, so I post my
precedent mail to the mailing list:
Hi,
I allow me to post by this mail address, because I still don't have receive
my password to use subscribers-list.
I introduce me, I am a French student, and I am doing a placement within BT.
My actual work is to analyse the IP traffic for IP services over DVB-S
links. I am doing this with different DVB cards and under windows and
Linux(Debian). I am working now on windows 98, I used the Makefile.mingw
makefiles to compile the different libraries and ntop. I have now my
libgd.a, libgdchart.a, libpng.a, libz.a and the ntop.exe.
But when I try to use ntop, I have the output:
Wait please: ntop is coming up...
22/Apr/2002 15:10:45 Initializing IP services...
22/Apr/2002 15:10:45 Initializing GDBM...
22/Apr/2002 15:10:45 Database './Database.db' open failed: unknow gdbm errno
22/Apr/2002 15:10:45 Possible solution: please use '-P <directory>'
Someone could help me to solve this problem?
Cheers,
Christophe

["BUILD-MinGW.txt" (text/plain)]
This note describes how to build ntop on win2k using the MinGW
toolchain (MinGW allows you to build native win32 binaries linked
against the Microsoft runtime and not the cygwin runtime).
Prerequistes:
1) MinGW (available from http://www.mingw.org)
This was tested against MinGW-1.1.tar.gz
2) GNU Make (available from http://www.mingw.org)
This was tested with GNU Make v3.79.1, (comes with MinGW-1.1)
2) WinPCAP developer's pack (available from
http://netgroup-serv.polito.it/winpcap/install/bin/WPdpack.zip)
This was tested with Release 2.2 of WinPcap
3) gdbm for win32/mingw (from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingwrep)
This was tested with gdbm-1.8.0-20010430.zip
4) ntop (available from http://www.ntop.org)
Steps
1) Install all prerequisites
2) Edit the ntop/Makefile.mingw and fill in the following values:
INC_GDBM (where the gdbm header files can be found)
INC_WPDPACK (where the winpcap header files can be found)
LIB_GDBM (where libgdbm.a is found)
LIB_WPDPACK (where libpcap.a is found)
If you're using a separate gdchart, gd, libpng, or libz, you'll
also need to change the include and library paths for these as well.
3) Build the sub-components (starting from the ntop-current directory)
3a) Build zlib
cd gdchart0.94c/zlib1.1.3
make -f Makefile.mingw
cd ../..
3b) Build libpng
cd gdchart0.94c/gd-1.8.3/libpng-1.0.8
make -f scripts/makefile.mingw
cd ../../../
3c) Build gd
cd gdchart0.94c/gd-1.8.3
make -f Makefile.mingw
cd ../..
3d) Build gdchart
cd gdchart0.94c
make -f Makefile.mingw
cd ..
4) Build ntop itself
cd ntop
make -f Makefile.mingw
5) Package ntop and the dependent files
Into the install directory, copy ntop.exe and the html
subdirectory hierarchy.
Ensure that the appropriate DLL's are in your path. For this
build, that includes libgdbm-2.dll and wpcap.dll.
If you have grep installed, the following commandline will tell
you which files need to be in either the same directory as
ntop.exe or in the path:
objdump -p ntop.exe |grep "DLL Name"
6) Use it
Execute ntop.exe from the install directory. You can get command
line help by running ntop.exe -h
