Freeradius 3.0 build process different from 2.0?
Hi, I have more a development question for Arran/Alan D about the build process for FR 3.0... has it changed significantly compared to v2.2.0? The reason I ask is that I would like to get started on a 3.0 build spec for CentOS (since the last version for CentOS 6.4 is v2.1.12, and 2.2.0 is officially only on Fedora 17). I have 'fudged' a build spec for v2.2.0 on CentOS 6 (John D, I can share it with you, if you prefer), so with Project Moonshot, I'd like to get going with a proper package for FR 3.0.

Everything about the build process changed. The only thing that's the same is the standard configure / make / main install.

That would be good, thanks. Alan DeKok.

Yes, enormously so but it's all behind the scenes.

There's not a lot to do. Just run ./configure && make && make install R=$ROOT as before.
Thanks to you both, Phil & Alan. I should have something reasonable cooked up soonish. :-) Regards Stefan -----Original Message----- From: freeradius-users-bounces+stefan.paetow=diamond.ac.uk@lists.freeradius.org [mailto:freeradius-users-bounces+stefan.paetow=diamond.ac.uk@lists.freeradius.org] On Behalf Of Phil Mayers Sent: 14 June 2013 15:58 To: freeradius-users@lists.freeradius.org Subject: Re: Freeradius 3.0 build process different from 2.0?

There are a few more considerations if you want it to just work as before. Arran Cudbard-Bell <a.cudbardb@freeradius.org> FreeRADIUS Development Team

Yes. We now use a modified version of Boilermake (a recursive makefile framework), it's significantly faster that the old sub-makefile system. You can't use module makefiles directly anymore, but you can specify modules as targets in the main make file. The autoconf scripts have changed too. Some things are enabled by default if you're building from within a .git repository, such as experimental modules and developer CFLAGS. You'll probably want to pass --disable-developer to ./configure so optimisations get turned back on if you're building from git. You will also need to generate the snakeoil certs using a post install hook as they're no longer generated on server startup and prepackaged certs should not be used for obvious reasons. The server core itself checks for version consistency between the version of OpenSSL it was compiled with and the version on the system. I'm not sure what the best way to deal with that is. We could relax the checks slightly, but Alan D was against it last time I spoke to him. Apparently the OpenSSL folks change the API in subversions, which can cause weird errors at runtime. libtalloc is a new core dependency and should be marked as such.
