Trying to install a DDNS client

#1 Post by kent41 »

I have down loaded the file noip-duc-linux.tar.gz from NO-IP.

I next used XArchive to extract the file.

The extraction created a directory named noip-2.1.3

Inside the noip-2.1.3 directory there are files named

debian.noip2.sh
gentoo.noip2.sh
redhat.noip2.sh
suse.noip2.sh
Makefile
noip2.c

and a bunch of readme files.

when I try to do a ./configure inside the noip-2.1.3 directory nothing happens.

What do I need to do next to install and use the client noip2

Thanks for any help

You need a devx_xxx.sfs file on the same partition where your pup_save file is to be able to compile programs in Puppy.

Have a look here:

make
will compile it.
Then look in an editor at one of the .sh scripts.
I think they will copy the compiled binary "noip2" to /usr/bin or a similar folder that is in the "PATH".
Maybe the scripts also will create an entry in the startup-files, so that it is run when the computer boots.
This might vary depending on the distribution, in Puppy you would add a line
noip2
to
/etc/rc.d/rc.local
