WvStreams-3.70

Introduction to WvStreams

The WvStreams package contains the network programming libraries. These are needed to compile wvdial.

Package information

Installation of WvStreams

Install WvStreams by running the following commands:

patch -Np1 -i ../wvstreams-3.70-wvcrypto.patch &&
patch -Np1 -i ../wvstreams-3.70-wvresolver.patch &&
make PREFIX=/usr LDFLAGS="-lcrypt" &&
make PREFIX=/usr install

Command explanations

make PREFIX=/usr LDFLAGS="-lcrypt": This fixes libwvstreams' issues with OpenSSL's crypto library.

Configuring WvStreams

Configuration Information

As with most libraries, there is no configuration to do, save that the library directory i.e. /opt/lib or /usr/local/lib should appear in /etc/ld.so.conf so that ldd can find the shared libraries. After checking that this is the case, /sbin/ldconfig should be run while logged in as root.
