[Openvpn-users] Fix to tun driver problems on Solaris (8)

[Andrew Roden <andrew.roden@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

Don't know if this will be of interest to anyone, but I was having
problems with installing the tun/tap driver on Solaris 8 and it always
giving me the following...

devfsadm: driver failed to attach: tun
Warning: Driver (tun) successfully added to system but failed to attach


I had tried installing it with 32 and 64 bit compilation in the
solaris Makefile.in and same result for both... so I modified the
Makefile.in in the following way...



##################################################################
CONFIGURE_FILES = Makefile config.status config.cache config.h config.log

CC = gcc
LD = /usr/ccs/bin/ld

DEFS = @DEFS@
CFLAGS = $(DEFS) -m64 -O2 -Wall -D_KERNEL -I.

ADD_DRV = /usr/sbin/add_drv
REM_DRV = /usr/sbin/rem_drv
DRV_DIR = /kernel/drv
DRV_DIR2 = /kernel/drv/sparcv9
DRV_DIR3 = /platform/sun4u/kernel/drv

INSTALL = @INSTALL@

all: module

module: tun.o
        $(LD) -r -o tun tun.o

tun.o: tun.c if_tun.h
        $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c tun.c

inst: module 
        $(INSTALL) -m 644 -o root -g root if_tun.h /usr/include/net 
        $(INSTALL) -m 644 -o root -g root tun $(DRV_DIR)
        $(INSTALL) -m 644 -o root -g root tun.conf $(DRV_DIR)
        $(INSTALL) -m 644 -o root -g root tun $(DRV_DIR2)
        $(INSTALL) -m 644 -o root -g root tun.conf $(DRV_DIR2)
        $(INSTALL) -m 644 -o root -g root tun $(DRV_DIR3)
        $(INSTALL) -m 644 -o root -g root tun.conf $(DRV_DIR3)
        -$(REM_DRV) tun >/dev/null 2>&1
        $(ADD_DRV) tun  

clean:
        rm -f tun *.o *~

distclean:
        rm -f $(CONFIGURE_FILES)


with the path for DRV_DIR3 begin determined by doing 'uname -m' which
in my case gave sun4u

then did a regular 

./configure
make install


and all appears to have worked fine... just got to go through
configuring the rest of it now :D

HTH
