Looks like the snapgear-3.3.1.tar.gz file gets me further! :-)

where has the top level Makefile gone ?

you should have the following files in the top level directory:

$ tar -ztvf snapgear-3.4.0.tar.gz
> -rw-r--r-- gerg/gerg 11515 2006-08-02 11:38:59 snapgear/Makefile
> -rw-r--r-- gerg/gerg 1743 2004-01-21 09:49:56 snapgear/SOURCE
> -rw-r--r-- gerg/gerg 18007 1999-11-22 13:46:54 snapgear/COPYING
> -rw-r--r-- gerg/gerg 4931 2004-11-11 14:19:59 snapgear/README

and the following directories:
> damion@titan:~/WORKSPACE/snapgear-linux/snapgear-3.4.0$ ls
> bin freeswan lib linux-2.4.x tools user
> config Documentation include linux-2.0.x linux-2.6.x openswan uClibc vendors

I then run $ make xconfig
config/mkconfig > config.in
make -C /mnt/work/snapgear-linux/snapgear-3.4.0/config/scripts tkparse
make[1]: Entering directory `/mnt/work/snapgear-linux/snapgear-3.4.0/config/scripts'
cc -c -o tkparse.o tkparse.c
cc -c -o tkcond.o tkcond.c
cc -c -o tkgen.o tkgen.c
cc -o tkparse tkparse.o tkcond.o tkgen.o
make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/work/snapgear-linux/snapgear-3.4.0/config/scripts'
ARCH=dummy /mnt/work/snapgear-linux/snapgear-3.4.0/config/scripts/tkparse <
config.in > config.tmp
cat /mnt/work/snapgear-linux/snapgear-3.4.0/config/scripts/header.tk >> ./config.tk
cat config.tmp >> config.tk

etc, etc. and I get the xwindow config boxes appearing.


Any of the versions should work. 3.4.0 is the latest, however we don't have
formal approval to release it yet.

Check to make sure you have the uncompressed files as listed from a
tar -ztvf snapgear-3.4.0.tar.gz
