the strongswan source looks to have the standard configure script and Makefile setup.

You can see the extension making section of the wiki and analagous build scripts/instructions under repo.tinycorelinux.net/7.x/x86/tcz/src for guidance.

Have you had any luck getting strongSwan to work? 

I have compiled the strongSwan source and made an extension from it and it all loads properly.  However, when I try and run "ipsec start", I get an error back saying that the following modules are not found in modules.dep ( ah4, esp4, ipcomp, sfrm4_tunnel, sfrm_user ).  Interestingly, strongSwan.org specifically calls out these modules as required on their website.

I am using Tinycore 8.1.1.1  with the default kernel 4.8.17.  I have tried to manually load the modules, but they are not present on the system.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

All that you listed is built-in to the kernel. (typo on the sfrm, that's xfrm)

Yes, you are correct on the typo. 

However, I don't believe that these modules are built in.  These modules don't show up via lsmod, modules.dep or anywhere in the system.

One thing that I realize that I forgot to mention is that I am using the "CorePure64-8.1.1.iso" not the the 32bit version.

Maybe these are included in the 32bit versions?   Unfortunately, for my requirements, I am not able to use 32bit.

Thanks

see:

http://tinycorelinux.net/8.x/x86_64/release/src/kernel/config-4.8.17-tinycore64

..for example:

Code: [Select]

CONFIG_INET_AH=y
CONFIG_INET_ESP=y
CONFIG_INET_IPCOMP=y

I see the file that you referenced and it appears that the modules should be there.  However this is what I see when I try to start up strongswan:

Starting strongSwan 5.6.0 IPsec [starter]...
modprobe: module ah4 not found in modules.dep
modprobe: module esp4 not found in modules.dep
modprobe: module ipcomp not found in modules.dep
modprobe: module xfrm4_tunnel not found in modules.dep
modprobe: module xfrm_user not found in modules.dep


This tells me that strongSwan is not able to find these modules.

Any thoughts?

It can't find them as modules, because they are built in. Please ask on their forum, this is a deficiency in their starting script/program.

At this point, I am attempting to recompile a custom kernel with these modules set to loadable modules rather than built in.  I am also reaching out to strongSwan.org to see if they have any suggestions.

Thanks to those that have helped thus far.
