Cyberoam / 24Online Client on OS X Tiger

I'm in dire need of help....

Since I switched to Mac, I'm without net because my net provider uses Cyberoam system.. and users are required to install and authenticate using 24Online client, which unfortunately works on win32 platform.

Now there is Unix version as well, but the distribution comes with single binary file and no other configuration files or make files to compile it. I found another option called LINC (http://linc.sourceforge.net), which I downloaded and tried to follow instructions given for configure and make.

But this is where I'm stuck now.... when I fire up ./configure command, below is the what I get :

loading cache ./config.cache

checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c

checking whether build environment is sane... yes

checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes

checking for working aclocal... found

checking for working autoconf... found

checking for working automake... found

checking for working autoheader... found

checking for working makeinfo... found

checking how to run the C preprocessor... /lib/cpp

checking for c++... c++

checking whether the C++ compiler (c++ -O2 ) works... no

configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C++ compiler cannot create executables.

I've used Linux before, but my knowledge is very limited about system and I am not able to figure around this. Does anyone know what this could mean?

My Mac configuration :

Mac mini 1.25 GHz, 512 MB ram, Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.5), X11 & X11 SDK installed, GCC 3.x and GCC 4.0 installed from Tiger installation DVD, XCode tools installed (I'm not developer but I thought it might solve the C++ compiler problem).

Can anyone help me? Since I don't have PC at home anymore, I'm kinda crippled without net on my Mac.

... 24Online client, which unfortunately works on win32 platform...

It's still true but didn't you forget an "only" there somewhere?

#373330

Now there is Unix version as well, but the distribution comes with single......

This is the reason why there is no "Only"...

#373332

Ok, but it was funnier without reading that.

#373333

Thanks anyway for pointing it out... but I'm kinda on edge right now for finding the solution, and I would appreciate answer for my problem.

I cant believe I'm reading about the infamous and ugly "Cyberoam 24 Online Client" on Aquasoft

I too am a victim of the same problem.. my ISP too uses the same-o authentication system :

Hope there's some way around it

#373341

There is no way "around" it, unfortunately. If the ISP uses it you HAVE to use the client for authentication. Fortunately, there is Unix version.. and an alternate app "LINC" which implements the same auth protocol... and since OS X can run Unix apps, that's the only hope.

*UPDATE*

I tried using g++ as compiler instead of default option. So I used this command....

CXX="g++" ./configure

checking whether the C++ compiler (g++ -O2 ) works... no

This is driving me crazy... someone, please help !!
