Thank you for including my patch. The package in unstable now cross
builds given sufficient cache variables. The required variables include
ac_cv_file__usr_sbin_pppd and ac_cv_file__usr_sbin_ppp.  Even though
configure requires them, they end up not being used as the packaging
gives --with-pppd. Their values don't matter and still the build fails
in their absence. This is a little inconvenience (thus wishlist).

The attached patch changes the logic to only require them when neither
--with-pppd nor --with-ppp is given. The semantics remain unchanged even
though the implementation is quite a bit shorter. What do you think
about the patch?

Thanks for your reply, I was trying build this new version with
pbuilder --host-arch=... but doesn't build fine (please log attached),
However I will upload this new version to unstable. Feel free to sent
me the new patch and I will apply it in a new revision and forward to
the upstream.

Thank you!

Hi Daniel,

openfortivpn is one of the packages that need extra information about
the host architecture. For autotools this is done using "cache
variables". So for cross building openfortivpn to linux-any (we don't
have non-linux release architectures at the moment), you need to provide
the following value:

ac_cv_file__proc_net_route=yes

The easiest way of doing so is passing it as an environment variable to
the build.

If the patch from bug #915424 got applied upstream, you should no longer
need other cache variables. So you can easily tell whether that is the
case.

Thank you for trying

Helmut
