[strongSwan-dev] Issue in building strongswan for mips

[Martin Willi]

Hi,

Probably this prefix is not valid. I'd try an absolute path.

As you'll be linking dynamically to libgmp, this library has to get
installed on your system. I can't help you with that, as I don't know
your SDK.

To build strongSwan against GMP in non-standard directories, you can
pass library and include directories using -L/-I LDFLAGS/CFLAGS
to ./configure, see "./configure --help".
