Bug 275305 – Missing dependancy for net-misc/strongswan-4.3.2

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Alois Schmid 2009-06-24 17:18:09 UTC]

net-misc/strongswan doesn't compile without dev-libs/libgcrypt installed.

emerge stops with the following error:

> cat build.log
 * This profile has not been tested thoroughly and is not considered to be
 * a supported server profile at this time.  For a supported server
 * profile, please check the Hardened project (http://hardened.gentoo.org).

 * This profile is merely a convenience for people who require a more
 * minimal profile, yet are unable to use hardened due to restrictions in
 * the software being used on the server. This profile should also be used
 * if you require GCC 4.1 or Glibc 2.4 support. If you don't know if this
 * applies to you, then it doesn't and you should probably be using
 * Hardened, instead.

 * This ebuild will set strongswan-4.3.2 to use 2.6 native IPsec (KAME).

      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.in:1011: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PATH_LIBGCRYPT

After emerging libgcrypt (which seems to define the macro AM_PATH_LIBGCRYPT) net-misc/strongswan compiles without problems on various x32 machines.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge strongswan (without libgcrypt installed -> error)
2. emerge libgcrypt
3. emerge strongswan (-> works)

Actual Results:  
autoconf error

Expected Results:  
compilation without problems

[Comment 1 Alois Schmid 2009-06-26 16:58:11 UTC]

One more thing: 
After successfull compilation I needed to allow ipsec user to use /sbin/ip command (via sudo) to work with nat and virtual adresses. Should be at least mentioned besides the iptables problem in the postinstallation messages.

Confirmed, thus:

+  Adding missing dev-libs/libgcrypt depend. Solves #275305
