eapol_test (on Windows)

This repository contains a patch and a C source file, a configuration file and instructions to build eapol_test on Linux for Windows. The patch and C file are only needed for the wpa_supplicant v2.9 or earlier codebase.

The eapol_test.config file replaces the .config file in the wpa_supplicant directory. It is built using an internal TLS implementation and will require libtommath.

Build instructions can be found here: https://wiki.geant.org/display/H2eduroam/Testing+with+eapol_test

A binary download (signed by Jisc) can be found under the releases or here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9nmw4r7b5jr263d/eapol_test.exe?dl=1

Building using Docker

Cross-compiling eapol_test.exe from Linux produces a usable binary but requires a considerable amount of work.

The Dockerfile, based on the Ubuntu base image can be used to automate this process. It's suitable for a Linux (or x86 macOS) build environment:

# 1. Build the container
docker build -t eapol_test .

# 2. Extract the compiled binary from the image
docker run --rm -v "${PWD}:/a" eapol_test cp /eapol_test.exe /a

At this point you should have a eapol_test.exe in the current working directory.

Known issues

1. No version tracking
2. Produces an unsigned executable which may not be suitable for some environments
3. The Docker build cache is quite large (about 2G) and you may wish to docker system prune after the build is complete
