Generic Installation

Requirment

modern linux distribution
kernel-2.6.25 or later
cmake-2.6 or later
libnl-2.0 or probably later (optional, required for builtin shaper)
libcrypto-0.9.8 or probably later (openssl-0.9.8)
libpcre
net-snmp-5.x (optional, required for snmp)
libssl-0.9.8 or probably later (openssl-0.9.8)
liblua5.1 probably later (optional, required for create username fundamental on packet header information)

Compilation and instalation

Make sure you have configured kernel headers in /usr/src/linux, or specify other location via KDIR.

Download accel-ppp source code with git client, tree master . Master tree contain actual patches last release.

git clone https://github.com/accel-ppp/accel-ppp.git accel-ppp-code

Create directory for build source code and go to this directory.

mkdir /opt/accel-ppp-code/build
cd /opt/accel-ppp-code/build/

cmake [-DBUILD_DRIVER=FALSE] [-DKDIR=/usr/src/linux] [-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local] [-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release] [-DLOG_PGSQL=FALSE] [-DSHAPER=FALSE] [-DRADIUS=TRUE] [-DNETSNMP=FALSE] ..

Notice:

Please note that the double dot record in the end of the command is essential. You’ll probably get error or misconfigured sources if you miss it.

BUILD_DRIVER, KDIR, CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX, CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE, LOG_PGSQL, SHAPER, RADIUS are optional, but while pptp is not present in mainline kernel you probably need BUILD_DRIVER.

make
make install

Run

usage: accel-pppd [-d] [-p <file>] -c <file>
      where:
              -d - daemon mode
              -p - write pid to <file>
              -c - config file
