PPTP Client

Kalidor · 2004-06-18 19:57:01

I've been running ArchLinux on my laptop for nearly a week now and decided it was time to build my own package. Here's the PKBUILD:

pkgname=pptp-linux
pkgver=1.4.0
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Client for the proprietary Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol PPTP"
url="http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/"
license="GPL"
depends=(ppp)
makedepends=(ppp)
conflicts=()
replaces=()
backup=()
install=
source=(http://switch.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/pptpclient/pptp-linux-1.4.0.tar.gz)
md5sums=(9e5c07de3e347c7125ed94824cebeaee)

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  make OPTIMIZE='-O2 -mtune=i686' || return 1
  make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
}

I've uploaded the package to ftp.archlinux.org/incoming. I hope everything is correct.:rolleyes:

Excellent, hope this is accepted into at least extra. So far I've been using my own pptp PKGBUILD, but yours looks at least as good. Just remember you can remove all the lines you don't use (like "install=").

Here's the PKGBUILD for the newest version:

pkgname=pptp-linux
pkgver=1.5.0
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Client for the proprietary Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol PPTP"
url="http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/"
license="GPL"
depends=(ppp)
makedepends=(ppp)
source=(http://switch.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/pptpclient/pptp-linux-1.5.0.tar.gz)
md5sums=(281ee37788bdf3260426eca56a9af858)

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  mv Makefile Makefile.old
  sed '/CFLAGS/d' Makefile.old > Makefile
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
}

The CFLAGS from /etc/makepkg.conf are used now, which is certainly better.

Do you have to patch the kernel for PPTP to work? I am using a kernel built from source, not the Arch kernel. I haven't had the chance to try this yet, but the school just went to VPN only via wireless, so I have to do something soon.

The stock kernel from archlinux doesn't support MPPE so i need to recompile it again
Apart from that, everything else work great

Where is the pptp-client now? :oops:

tomk · 2006-02-18 10:56:02

It's here in the AUR.

miguelangelnieto · 2006-02-20 10:52:02

Im sorry, but I dont know what to do do with this files. Can you give me any document, link or tip?

tomk · 2006-02-20 14:04:24

Have a look in the wiki for ABS ( the Arch Build System).

miguelangelnieto · 2006-02-20 17:54:10

Thank you!

tomk · 2006-02-20 23:34:08

Anytime - glad it worked out for you.

Hi all!

What GUI do you use for pptpclient?

I'm using Archlinux for a few weeks and I like it very much. I also want to change the Linux on another PC to Archlinux but I need pptpclient (with MPPE) on that PC.
So long I was using the pptpconfig GUI on the previous Linux, but I was not able to prepare all the needed php4 stuff for it on Archlinux, so I need to search for an other GUI.

So long I found 2 possible solutions:
webmin - I had to chagne the PKBBUILD for my needs to add pptp support, but I could not test it yet if it works as it should, althoug I realized that I need some perl packages for it to work.
kvpnc - I would rather not install and manage the many KDE packages only to use kvpnc, but maybe I will need to do so...

Any other possibilities?

Thanks in advance...

Arch Linux
