I have been receiving errors when configuring Stunnel, which I intend to cross compile for use with my Linksys WRT54GL router (Tomato firmware). When passing ./configure --host=mipsel-linux --with-ssl=/root/openssl --enable-static --enable-dh --libexecdir=/tmp the configure process stops with an error.
Here is the complete output.

Give me your suggestions.
Thank you
checking for "/dev/ptmx"... configure: error: cannot check for file existence when cross compiling.
Give me your suggestions.
Check that /dev/ptmx exists on your router; it does on my Buffalo router with Tomato. If it does, then hack the configure script to force the test to return true. A search in the script for ptmx should take you right to the test.
Good luck, Andrew.
