openssh-5.1p1 configure failure

Hi

If I try to run configure for openssh-5.1p1 with --wtih-selinux option
it fails giving the error "selinux support requires selinux library"

all of the below also dont work

a) --wtih-selinux
b) --wtih-selinux=path of cross complied library
c) LDFLAGS=-Lpath of cross complied library

if I remove --wtih-selinux option I am able to everything is fine.
How to solve this error?

Thanks for your time

Regards
Basavaraj

You can look in config.log after a failure to see what is going wrong.

Looking at the config log, the problem is that,
configure is not taking the selinux library path[even though I am providing
it with -L option]

attached is the config.log for your reference.

thanks for your time

The way configure is currently written, --wtih-selinux=path is not possible.
Try the attached patch to configure.ac. You will need to regenerate configure
by running autoconf.

Re: openssh-5.1p1 configure failure [In reply to]

Thank you very much for the patch file.
That indeed helped me; configure, make n make install do work

I was actually trying to enable selinux feature in ssh as passwordless ssh
to my embedded target is not working for recent kernels.

So I tried to
1) disable selinux feature using CMDLINE in the bootloader prompt
2) enable selinux feature in ssh

both dint help. with recent kernel binaries ssh is not accepting
emptypasswords[I did change sshd_config to accept the emptypasswords]

still there is a problem
