Fantastic! It works!

When I first used the Yubico PAM module on Linux, I was impressed by how easy it was to set up two-factor authentication. My only disappointment came later, when I had such a hard time getting it installed on FreeBSD. Now, with your "workaround," Klas, everything builds successfully, and I have been able to configure the PAM module, and can confirm that SSH logins with password + yubikey work perfectly on FreeBSD 9.

Thank you much for your help.

Good.
The same fix (or workaround really) is added to yubico-pam as well now.

Thank you Klas! yubico-c-client built successfully after I pulled the new version from github.

Now, if you could just work your magic on yubico-pam...? I seem to be getting what amounts to the same error when I move forward to actually build the PAM module itself (again, after including the -Wno-extra-portability flag):

Code:

$ autoreconf --install

Hello,

I just pushed a fix for that issue to the yubico-c-client repository, do a git pull and try to build it again.

Building Yubico PAM module on FreeBSD

2012-11-06T15:32:32+01:00

Greetings,

I have been putting some effort into compiling the yubikey PAM module on
FreeBSD 9, but with little success. So far, my searches for information
on the Internet have been fruitless. I wonder if anyone has succeeded in
building libpamyubico on FreeBSD, and what steps they may have taken to
succeed.

I have the following versions of the listed dependencies installed:

automake-1.12.4
autoconf-2.13.000227_6 (legacy)
autoconf-2.69
libtool-2.4.2
curl-7.24.0_1

I have checked out the source code from github, for the following
projects:

yubico-c
yubico-c-client
yubico-pam

So far, I have been able to build and install yubico-c without much
difficulty. However, moving on to yubico-c-client is where my troubles
begin.

As suggested in the README, I have added "-Wno-extra-portability" to the
configure.ac file for yubico-c-client (for my version of automake > 1.11).
However, attempting to configure with "autoreconf --install" fails with
the following output:

Code:

$ autoreconf --install
libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in `.'.
libtoolize: copying file `./ltmain.sh'
libtoolize: putting macros in AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR, `m4'.

Makefile.am:37:   while processing Libtool library 'libykclient.la'
Makefile.am: installing './depcomp'
autoreconf-2.69: automake failed with exit status: 1
$ 

If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.
