[strongSwan] Startup with strongSwan 5.2.0

[Prashant Upadhyaya]

Hi,

I cross compiled strongSwan5.2.0 for MIPS thus (build machine x86) -

./configure CC=mips64-octeon-linux-gnu-gcc --host mips64 LDFLAGS=-L/home/prashant/gmp/lib CPPFLAGS=-I/home/prashant/gmp/include --prefix=/home/prashant/strongswan

Followed by make, make install
I cross compiled the gmp library separately and provided to the build above hence the additional LDFLAGS/CPPFLAGS

Then I picked all the install stuff and took it to the MIPS target, just used the factory default config files, no additional config as I just wanted to see if the whole thing starts up (will deal with additional config subsequently)

Now at the MIPS target system, when I do "ipsec start", I get the following logs -
====

/home/prashant/strongswan/sbin # ./ipsec start

I did try the command -
ipsec pki -gen > myKey.der
and it failed with the same message highlighted above i.e. building CRED_PRIVATE_KEY - RSA failed, tried 0 builders
Am I missing something basic in the build itself or there is something wrong with my target setup/kernel, would appreciate any advice.

Regards
-Prashant
