Description Bertrand Jacquin 2011-06-28 14:23:47 UTC

adiusclient configure failed when cross compiling as no fallback method to handling this :

checking for stricmp... no 
checking for random... yes 
checking for rand... yes 
checking for snprintf... yes 
checking for vsnprintf... yes 
checking for field domainname in struct utsname... configure: error: in `/usr/i586-geode-linux-gnu/tmp/portage/net-dialup/radiusclient-0.3.2/work/radiusclient-0.3.2': 
configure: error: cannot run test program while cross compiling 
See `config.log' for more details

Here is a patch to let user define utsname status by defining ac_cv_struct_utsname

There is another fix for /dev/urandom that is tested on build host. But this file can don't exist on target host. So let user define ac_cv_file__dev_urandom

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. i586-geode-linux-gnu-emerge -vat radiusclient
2.
3.

Please let us know if it's ok to merge.

The only one consumer in tree is mail-mta/exim and it still uses old radiusclient API, thus neither net-dialup/freeradius-client nor net-dialup/radiusclient-ng are suitable for it

I thought that i can fix this, but i have failed :-(

Is it ok to merge this then?

Comment 6 Alexander Tsoy 2015-10-17 15:16:10 UTC

(In reply to Sergey Popov from comment #4)
Have you tried "RADIUS_LIB_TYPE=RADIUSCLIENTNEW" instead of "RADIUS_LIB_TYPE=RADIUSCLIENT"?

Comment 7 Alexander Tsoy 2015-10-17 16:39:32 UTC

OK. With a little patch I managed to build exim with freeradius-client and radiusclient-ng. However supporting both of them is painful since header names and config file paths are different. Also I didn't performed any runtime test.

Comment 8 Alexander Tsoy 2015-10-17 22:00:03 UTC

exim + freeradius-client works perfectly. I opened bug 563356

CCing treecleaners as nothing needs this anymore

Comment 10 Brian De Wolf 2016-09-30 21:13:08 UTC

Please don't remove this package just yet as libradiusclient.so.0 is used by net-analyzer/nagios-plugins.  In older versions (1.4.16-r2), the dependency was controlled by a USE flag so it was visible.  It was changed to rely on "automagic dependencies", thus the dependency is no longer explicitly defined.
