trickle

Description

trickle is a voluntary, cooperative bandwidth shaper. trickle works entirely in userland and is cross platform compatible.

Install

autoreconf -if
./configure
make
su
make install

Note that on certain systems you may get the following error on make:

configure.in:220: error: do not use LIBOBJS directly, use AC_LIBOBJ (see 
section `AC_LIBOBJ vs LIBOBJS'
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
make: *** [configure] Error 1

this is easily circumvented by running make again.

To make a RedHat RPM, simply type

rpmbuild -ta trickle-1.07.tar.gz

Documentation

See the manpage trickle(1), trickled(8) and trickled.conf(5).
