The Libreswan IKE daemon has been ported to work on CYGWIN32. It presently has no kernel component, so it is useful only to those who want to do some kind of testing using IKE using a Windows 2000/XP platform. It assumed that a CYGWIN32 compiler environment exists. The code cross compiles, and has passed approximately 90% of our test cases as of this time. The major change is that the IKE daemon ("pluto") normally discovers it's list of interfaces and local IP addresses automatically. That code does not port well, so for the moment, we require manual configuration in ipsec.conf. See the "ipsec.win2k.conf" file in the programs/_confread/ipsec.win2k.conf in the source tree. You may need to do: mount -f -u -b "C:/cygwin/local" "/usr/local" to mark the /usr/local area as executable for cygwin. You need to install GNU AWK, GNU SED, to run. You will need a program, "logger" installed into /bin: bash-3.00$ cat /bin/logger #!/bin/sh while [ $# -gt 0 ] do opt=$1; shift; case $opt in -s) ;; -p) shift;; -t) shift;; esac done if [ $# -gt 0 ] then echo "$@" else cat - fi exit 0 bash-3.00$ chmod +x /bin/logger To start up libreswan, you can do: bash-3.00% ipsec setup start note that "ipsec setup stop" does not quite function as yet. The "ps" program does not quite behave. To BUILD ======== Extract the tar.gz file in some place that is convenient. Type "make programs" Type "make install" You will need appropriate tools installed on cygwin: Package Version Status bash 3.0-11 OK binutils 20050610-1 OK bison 20030307-1 OK bzip2 1.0.3-1 OK crypt 1.1-1 OK findutils 20041227-1 OK flex 2.5.4a-3 OK gawk 3.1.5-1 OK gcc 3.4.4-1 OK gcc-core 3.4.4-1 OK gcc-g++ 3.4.4-1 OK gdb 20041228-3 OK gmp 4.1.4-2 OK grep 2.5.1a-2 OK groff 1.18.1-2 OK gzip 1.3.5-1 OK make 3.80-1 OK man 1.5p-1 OK minires 1.00-1 OK minires-devel 1.00-1 OK sed 4.1.4-1 OK sharutils 4.3.80-1 OK swig 1.3.24-1 OK tar 1.13.25-7 OK tcltk 20030901-1 OK zip 2.3-6 OK zlib 1.2.2-2 OK TESTING ======= To run the tests: 0) add the following IP aliases: 128.95.7.1 128.95.7.2 128.95.7.3 128.95.7.4 (On Linux we added 127... but Windows won't let us do that) You will only to do this once. 1) start up a cygwin bash shell set MYBOX to source tree cd /0g/sandboxes/win2k MYBOX=`pwd` export MYBOX 2) sh $MYBOX/testing/pluto/pluto-unit-01/pluto_unit_tests.sh
