unable to port Wvdial in embedded ARM platform


Hi

I need to port the WVdial in ARM platform, kindly advice

actually i have ported wvdial 1.61 with the dependents openssl(openssl-0.9.8o),WVstreams-4.6.1, But while runing wvdial i got the following error.

"wvdial: utils/wvtask.cc:202: WvTaskMan::WvTaskMan(): Assertion `getcontext(&get_stack_return) == 0' failed."

i found the same issue mentioned in link

http://code.google.com/p/wvstreams/issues/detail?id=26

then, the patch mentioned in the link was updated in wvstreams 4.6.1, while running wvdialconf the serial modem was detected and saved in /etc/wvdial.conf, but while running wvdial i am getting the following message ,

--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.61
--> Warning: section [Dialer Defaults] does not exist in wvdial.conf.
--> Cannot open /dev/modem: No such file or directory
--> Cannot open /dev/modem: No such file or directory
--> Cannot open /dev/modem: No such file or directory

generally /dev/modem is just a link pointing on one of the serial device /dev/ttySX or /dev/ttyAMX...
