Re: [Openvpn-users] Solairs SPARC install

[Rich West <Rich.West@xxxxxxxxx>]

I managed to answer this one myself.  The docs state to add "-m64" to the solaris\Makefile CFLAGS which did not seem to make any difference.  The part that did help was the patch to the tun.c code.  Although the README references the patch, it is only mentioned in reference to "creating multiple tunnels on Solaris" which is why I did not think it applied.  However, I think the README docs are misleading since I couldn't get the devices to be created at all.. once I applied the tun.c
patch, everything magically came up!

  For 64 bit, I used the tun-1.1.tar.gz source and compiled it.

  Of course there is a but  :) 
  In the tun-1-1\solaris\Makefile I changed a line so it compiles with 64 bit

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

  I just added -m64 and it worked.

  The tun driver works fine as said previously, however we noticed there is a
  minor problem when creating multiple tunnels on Solaris.
  Mr Tycho Fruru changed the code in tun.c file where he locked the tun device
  number to -1. This way it is impossible to specify the name of the tun device
  but it is still possible to have multiple devices.
  The modification will increment automatically meaning starting from tun0 --->
  tunX I know you are not responsible for the tun coding but if you think the
  modification can be useful for you feel free to use it.
