ocserv installation on debian (arm)

[Mauro Gaspari]

Hello


I recently found this project, and it looks very interesting. I have
been trying to install versions 0.10.2, 0.10.3, and 0.10.4 on a few
machines (and virtual machines) based on debian, ubuntu, and openSUSE.
So far, I had no issues on x86 or x86_64, but I was not able to
complete the "make" process on arm architecture (debian).
I have a couple of testing boards, banana pi bpi-r1 with bananian
installed (debian 7 arm).

1. First issue was with debian wheezy dependencies. wheezy backports
repository (deb http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy-backports main)
includes the needed package "libgnutls28-dev" for the x86 and x86_64
architectures, but not for armhf yet.
Since I am on testing phase, I quickly resolved changing my repos from
wheezy to testing. I am pretty sure this will be solved in the future,
just wanted to report that, hopefully it helps someone.

2. once all dependencies were installed, I tried to install ocserv by
running ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc && make && make
install

this works perfectly on x86 and x86_64, but fails on arm. I have all
required packages per README file. Since the output is very long, I
will only paste a few lines here.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.I am available to help for
further testing, troubleshooting. If needed I can connect one spare
device to a public IP and provide remote access for as long as it
takes.

Best Regards
Mauro
