About OpenVAS-Client: --------------------- OpenVAS-Client is a successor of NessusClient. The fork happened with NessusClient CVS HEAD 20070704. The reason was that the original authors of NessusClient decided to stop active development for this (GTK-based) NessusClient in favour of a newly written QT-based version released as non-free software. Please see file COPYING.README for the license information. Compiling OpenVAS-Client: ------------------------- The most simple way is (as a user, not as root): $ ./configure && make Then you can directly execute ./bin/OpenVAS-Client During configuration some errors may occur because of missing packages. Please resolve them and run configure again. More information about the configuration options: $ ./configure --help If you want to install OpenVAS-Client on the system you can type make install However, you need permission to write files to the installation destination. If you are not familiar with this installation procedure, we recommend to search for readily available installation packages for your system. For more information and questions, please contact the OpenVAS development team on the openvas-discuss or openvas-devel Mailing List (see www.openvas.org). Internationalisation: OpenVAS-Client is able to support other languages, e.g. german or swedish. To activate this for your installation: $ cd po $ make install For further details see po/README.
