Syslog support about openfortivpn HOT 9 CLOSED

Hi Ralf, sorry for not following your contribution up.

Yes, please rebase on master and post a comment on #65. We'll follow it there.

Hi @schlatterbeck, could you share your openfortivpn compiling tutorial for openwrt, and prebuilt binary files for mips_24kc platform is more appreciated.

@excelwang Out of curiosity, have you actually tried to compile? If so, did you encounter any problems while compiling?

from openfortivpn.

@schlatterbeck, Thanks for your reply. I have tried twice.

The first time, I tried to cross-compile openfortivpn, but encountered compilation dependencies missing problem (afterward, I knew it was caused by the missing of cross-compiled openssl library).

The second time, I tried to use a prebuilt openssl library shipped with lede/openwrt 17.01.4. But I gave it up at last, as I have no idea how to change openfortivpn's autogen.sh to use the cross compile environment. After all, I doubt if I could build a runnable openwrt version.

Any advice for further step is very appreciated!

I understand the whole difficulty here is to:

1. get a working cross-compiling environment with all necessary dependencies,
2. tweak the build infrastructure of openfortivpn to work within this cross-compiling environment.

I've seldom messed with cross-compiling myself - and never with openfortivpn - so I won't be much help. For item 2 I would just suggest forgetting autogen.sh and tweaking individuals commands:

aclocal
autoconf
automake --add-missing

Once you get there, I don't see why it wouldn't be possible to build openfortivpn for OpenWrt with minimal changes. I might help once you get there but I cannot help with prior items 1 and 2.

@schlatterbeck. Finally I successfully cross compiled a working openfortivpn for openwrt. Mainly 2 steps:

1. cross compile the openssl.
   2.modefiy the Makefile of openfortivpn: change gcc to the cross-compile gcc.

Hello,
I have compiled succesfully openfortivpn in Fedora and it works, but now I'm trying unsuccessfuly to cross-compile it in my OpenWRT building environment for an ar71xx (mips) Tp-Link router. Could any of you elaborate how should I do it? It is the first package that I'm trying to compile from external sources ....

Thanks in advance

I finally got it compiled and working (except the ip routes that are not accepted by the client, but do work in fedora)

This is the file structure that I used

./package/feeds/custom/openfortivpn
./package/feeds/custom/openfortivpn/Makefile
./package/feeds/custom/openfortivpn/files
./package/feeds/custom/openfortivpn/files/openfortivpn.init

and on the Makefile (thanks Ralf) I changed:
PKG_SOURCE_URL:=https://github.com/adrienverge/openfortivpn.git
#PKG_SOURCE_URL:=[email protected]:adrienverge/openfortivpn.git

Also on feeds.conf.default add:
src-git custom https://github.com/adrienverge/openfortivpn.git

then proceed as normal:
./scripts/feeds update -a
./scripts/feeds install -a
make -j1 V=s package/openfortivpn/compile

And you get your ipk file. You can also select openfortivpn in menuconfig and build your binary with openfortivpn inside.

Thanks everyone
