[Openswan Users] compile error with 2.6.24rc3

[Murat Sezgin]

Hi all,

I was trying to run the openswan 2.6.18 version on our openwrt router. I was
trying to connect it from a NAT'd client. I spent a few days on this and
then I saw that this version has a bug on this feature. I had already tried
it on my linux machine but the result was the same. Today I saw that the
2.6.24rc3 version has fixed this issue. I downloaded it. Before porting it
to openwrt, I wanted to compile and run it on my linux machine, but I get
the following build error.

/usr/src/openswan-2.6.24rc3/programs/pluto/kernel_netlink.c: In function
‘netlink_add_sa’:
/usr/src/openswan-2.6.24rc3/programs/pluto/kernel_netlink.c:732: error:
storage size of ‘algo’ isn’t known
/usr/src/openswan-2.6.24rc3/programs/pluto/kernel_netlink.c:738: error:
‘XFRMA_ALG_AEAD’ undeclared (first use in this function)
/usr/src/openswan-2.6.24rc3/programs/pluto/kernel_netlink.c:738: error:

/usr/src/openswan-2.6.24rc3/programs/pluto/kernel_netlink.c:738: error: for
each function it appears in.)
/usr/src/openswan-2.6.24rc3/programs/pluto/kernel_netlink.c:732: warning:

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/openswan-2.6.24rc3/OBJ.linux.i386'
make: *** [programs] Error 2

I have the header file xfrma.h under include/linux directory. I have also
installed the following packages that I saw in a previous email (from this
email I also learned the bug :))

build-essential
libgmp3-dev
bison
libgmp
flex
xmlto

How can I get rid of this build error? I am using Ubuntu 8.04.
