[strongSwan] Issue with loading critical plugin features (using strongswan -5.2.2)

[Chinmaya Dwibedy]

Hi All,

 Good Morning!!!

 The `configure'shell script attempts to guess correct values for varioussystem-dependent variables used during compilation.  It uses those values tocreate a `Makefile' in each directory of the package. >From the build logs, Ifind it does not build shared libraries. Here goes the log. checking forx86_64-wrs-linux-gcc... x86_64-wrs-linux-gcc -m64 -march=corei7 -mtune=corei7-mfpmath=sse -msse4.2--sysroot=/opt/windriver/wrlinux-cgl/8.0-intel-x86-64/sysroots/corei7-64-wrs-linux

The strongswan doc(at https://wiki.strongswan.org/issues/1299) says, we can't build the Charon daemon completely statically. As a result of whichwhen I run on Wind River Linux system , Charon aborts . Can anyone pleaseconfirm if the below crash/abort issue is because shared libraries are not being built ?

 

[root at TEMP/MEG-1]opt# /opt/sbin/ipsec start --nofork

 I also used --enable-shared& --enable-monolithic configure option but got the same issue .Can anyone please let me know what might be the cause behind the below (i.e., thelinker does not support shared libraries) and how to get rid of this issue? 

 checking whetherthe x86_64-wrs-linux-gcc -m64 -march=corei7 -mtune=corei7 -mfpmath=sse -msse4.2--sysroot=/opt/windriver/wrlinux-cgl/8.0-intel-x86-64/sysroots/corei7-64-wrs-linuxlinker (x86_64-wrs-linux-g++ -m64 -march=corei7 -mtune=corei7 -mfpmath=sse-msse4.2--sysroot=/opt/windriver/wrlinux-cgl/8.0-intel-x86-64/sysroots/corei7-64-wrs-linux-m elf_x86_64) supports shared libraries... no

  Thank you inadvance for your time and support. Anticipating an early response.
