--enable-tools NO longer valid in strongSwan 5.3.5

[terrywang]

I came across your article when trying to compile the latest strongswan (5.3.5 at the moment) as the package in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is a bit out-dated (5.1.2) and does not have the swanctl CLI tool introduced in 5.2.0.

Your article did help me to figure out the autoconf options to compile strongswan with needed plugins, thanks for that ;-D

Just want to point out that --enable-tools is no longer valid option for 5.3.5. Not exactly sure what it is but I reckon it is replaced by --enable-swanctl as per Autoconf options for the most current strongSwan release

configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --enable-tools

You may want to update the install script.

Anyway, I compiled 5.3.5 from source using the following autoconf configurations and it worked fine so far.

cd /path/to/strongswan-5.3.5

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --enable-eap-identity --enable-eap-md5 \
--enable-eap-mschapv2 --enable-eap-tls --enable-eap-ttls --enable-eap-peap  \
--enable-eap-tnc --enable-eap-dynamic --enable-eap-radius --enable-xauth-eap  \
--enable-xauth-pam  --enable-dhcp  --enable-openssl  --enable-addrblock --enable-unity  \
--enable-certexpire --enable-radattr --enable-openssl --disable-gmp --enable-swanctl

make -j $(nproc)

make install

High recommend this article for anyone who wants to set up their own IPsec VPN using strongSwan.

Thanks a lot.
I'll update it to the dev branch.
