strongSwan Installation Documentation¶
Live testing system¶
We have built a small test system to run strongSwan without installation or configuration. It is based on a UML kernel, two small OpenWRT images and should run on any x86 Linux system out of the box.
Distribution packages¶
There are currently packages for:Compile yourself¶
Linux Kernel requirements¶
strongSwan should run on most distros' kernels. If you build your own kernel, include the required modules.
Building strongSwan¶
We have changed the buid system to autotools for the 4.x releases. There is a growing list of autoconf options available:
- Autoconf options for 4.3 releases (current)
- Autoconf options for 4.2 releases
- Autoconf options for 4.1 releases
The build procedure is as with any autotools project:
wget http://download.strongswan.org/strongswan-4.x.x.tar.bz2 tar jxvf strongswan-4.x.x.tar.bz2; cd strongswan-4.x.x ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --<your-options> make sudo make install
Building strongSwan on FreeBSD and Mac OS X¶
