[Design] Re: The new minstall fails...

Let me provide the insight I can. This is based off of doc/install.html.

First off, there are two "types" of kernel/module building targets: *mod, *go. "make oldmod" is to be used when we intend to compile KLIPS as module; "make oldgo" when we intend to compile a kernel with our IPSec code statically linked.

The appropriate way to install FreeS/WAN after oldgo: kinstall. After oldmod, minstall.

... but what surprises me is this: when I look at the .config after it is modified by oldgo, it's not CONFIG_IPSEC=y -- it's CONFIG_IPSEC=m. I can understand your confusion.

An added complication: In the 2.00 series, when we configure KLIPS as a module via "oldmod", it gets built in our source tree, in linux/net/ipsec, but we patch FreeS/WAN code into the kernel anyhow. When we build via oldgo, my understanding is that we mean to build it into the kernel - the documentation certainly indicates so - and the appropriate install target is "kinstall".

It's important to keep the compile and install targets separate, as people may be crosscompiling, or compiling for use on multiple machines with similar code/architecture.

As oldgo is not defaulting to static IPSEC compilation, is it broken, or is there some other confusion?
