You need to install the libtool and intltool packages.

See the following on how to build on Ubuntu : https://github.com/nm-l2tp/network-manager-l2tp/wiki/Building

Is it possible, being in one OS, to install programs in another OS?

I have configured internet l2tp on ubuntu, and there is a second OS - debian, where the internet is not configured.

I found the network-manager-l2tp program on github, and I try to install it, but there are a lot of dependencies. That is, I have to boot into ubuntu, search the Internet for one of the auxiliary programs, download, reboot the PC to debian, try to install the downloaded file, and so on.

After installing dependencies i got error in ./autogen.sh

checking for NSS... no Package nss was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `nss.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'nss' found configure: error: No package 'nss' found

``

username34 commented 5 years ago

To fix it i installed libssl-dev, libnss3-dev

username34 commented 5 years ago

After that i got error

checking for LIBNMA... no configure: error: Package requirements (libnma >= 1.8.0) were not met:

Requested 'libnma >= 1.8.0' but version of libnma is 1.4.4

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBNMA_CFLAGS and LIBNMA_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details.

To fix it i installed gir1.2-nma-1.0 To fix XMLINIT error i installed libxml2-utils

Should i run commands (autogen.sh, configure, make) by user or by root? What to do after executing these commands? Reboot or copy some files?

I would recommend issuing git checkout 1.2.10 to checkout the latest stable release. It should build fine on Debian 9.

The master branch only works with newer NetworkManager > 1.8 based Linux distros.

Only the sudo make install needs sudo (i.e. root) privileges, the other commands can be run as your user.

I previously tried twice to get network-manager-l2tp backported to Debian 9, but wasn't able to find a sponsor who could upload it. I do have a sponsor for Debian Sid, but he doesn't do backports.

The Debian and Ubuntu versions would need to be close relatives to do what you asked. Ubuntu 18.04 would be too new for Debian 9 as it has dropped the legacy libnm-glib support, but earlier Ubuntu version might work.

Forgot to mention after the first time you run sudo make install , you will need to logout of the GNOME desktop or reboot. It is an issue with nm-applet not detecting the corresponding VPN plugin has been installed. You won't need to do that for subsequent installs.

in my OS network-manager 1.14.4 installed

Only the sudo make install needs sudo (i.e. root) privileges, the other commands can be run as your user.

after i executed

sudo make install and rebooted connection type l2tp was found in network-manager gui

and L2TP works.

And now should i remove directory network-manager-l2tp-master or it is using?

Can i setup autoconnect l2tp on startup?

i dont like debian 9, i am using crunchbangplusplus, it is a fork of debian 9 with its own repository

Once installed, the source code directory isn't required anymore, so can safely be deleted.

For auto-connecting a VPN connection, you need to run nm-connection-editor to enable it, see:

I haven't tried auto-connecting a VPN connection myself.

Interesting, I hadn't heard of crunchbangplusplus till now.

There is no auto-connect option in VPN settings.

I created text-file with password of vpn and removed password from settings. echo "vpn.secrets.password:MY_PASSWORD" > /home/user/beeline.parol

I added 2 lines to my startup config file /home/user/.config/openbox/autostart 

sleep 2s && \
nmcli con up id beeline passwd-file /home/user/beeline.parol > /home/user/beeline.logfile &

And now vpn autoconnects fine.

dkosovic commented 5 years ago

Glad to hear you solved your issues and you got auto-connect working.

I'll now close this issue.
