The files here are for building an RPM package installable on CentOS 6.x/RHEL 6.x.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I (Dexter Ang, aka @thepoch) am not affiliated with the SoftEther VPN Project. Any bugs, suggestions, improvements on building an RPM should probably be reported to me.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Install and run
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After the package is built and installed, you can start the service as root:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
service vpnserver start
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can also have it start automatically:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
chkconfig vpnserver on
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Files
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This project containts the following files to build an RPM of SoftEther VPN:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* SPEC/softethervpn.spec - The main spec file
|
||
|
|
* SOURCES/fix-makefiles.sh - Script that modifies the original makefiles so it properly makes with BUILDROOT.
|
||
|
|
* linux_??bit.mak - Makefiles modified using fix-makefiles.sh. You can replace these with the original from source, and rerun the script above.
|
||
|
|
* init.d/vpnserver - initscript
|
||
|
|
* scripts/* - scripts that are originally generated by the original makefiles.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## To Build on CentOS 6.x
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As root, install the following packages:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
yum -y groupinstall "Development Tools"
|
||
|
|
yum -y install ncurses-devel openssl-devel readline-devel
|
||
|
|
yum -y install rpmdevtools
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As a regular user, create your rpmbuild directory structure:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
rpmdev-setuptree
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Copy over the files from their respective directories in this repository into your rpmbuild directory. Then
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
rpmbuild -ba SPECS/softethervpn.spec
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The resulting RPM will be in the RPM directory. Install this as root:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
rpm -Uvh RPMS/`arch`/softethervpn-4*rpm
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Known Issues
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Currently, vpnserver hangs when stopped on CentOS 6.5. Have not had time to debug. Ticket #18 on SoftEtherVPN [https://github.com/SoftEtherVPN/SoftEtherVPN/issues/18](https://github.com/SoftEtherVPN/SoftEtherVPN/issues/18).
|
||
|
|
2. Directory structure retained as-is under /usr/vpn*.
|
||
|
|
3. Not built into separate packages (ie vpnserver, vpnclient, etc. are all in one).
|
||
|
|
4. When uninstalling, if you ran any of the SoftEtherVPN binaries, configuration and other files are generated in /usr/vpn*. So these directories will remain when you uninstall the RPM. You can delete these if you don't plan on using the configurations again.

## Personal Notes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. This is my first time creating a spec file, creating an RPM, etc. Apologies in advance for any mistakes.
|
||
|
|
2. This was tested using sources for version: **4.04.9412**. I'll try and update this as new versions come out.
