Am trying to compile freeradius (freeradius-server-2.1.10) for my own distro (based on 2.6.32 kernel from kernel.org) and running into compilation errors. :
libtool: link: `rlm_eap_md5.lo' is not a valid libtool object gmake[9]: *** [rlm_eap_md5.la] Error 1
Please let me know a way to fix this.
Use a standard build system. You've done something so that parts of the server are built with libtool, and parts are not. This is *not* the default way to build the server.
Also, radiusd seems to be pulling in many shared libraries. Do I need to compile them from source myself
I have no idea why you would think that is necessary.
or are there any short cuts (if someone has tried this before) ? I know compiling it for Fedora or a similar distro is easier but unfortunately that won't help me.
Note that I just need simple password (cleartext) based authentication leaving out the crypto stuff.
Just build the server. It will work. It *optionally* uses a lot of shared libraries (ldap, sql, etc.) But those are not *required* for authentication. Alan DeKok.
