ppp-2.3.1 won′t compile ...

Post by Wolfgan » Sun, 03 Aug 1997 04:00:00



I just installed the new ppp-2.3.1 and it failed to compile (included in
kernel or as a module). I do have modules-2.0.0 installed already. This
is what I get during compilation:

ppp.c: In function `ppp_init_dev':
ppp.c:458: `PPP_HARD_HDR_LEN' undeclared (first use this function)
ppp.c:458: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
ppp.c:458: for each function it appears in.)
ppp.c: In function `ppp_tty_write':
ppp.c:2234: warning: implicit declaration of function `copy_from_user'
ppp.c:2198: warning: `proto' might be used uninitialized in this
function
ppp.c: At top level:
ppp.c:217: warning: `max_dev' defined but not used
make[2]: *** [ppp.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.30/drivers/net'
make[1]: *** [modules] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.30/drivers'
make: *** [modules] Error 2
dreampeace:/usr/src/linux-2.0.30 #

Thanx for any help !

There's a patch not widely distributed for this.  A copy
of which was posted uuencoded on the linux.dev.kernel
group.  Use dejanews to retrieve a copy.
The subject was "ppp 2.3.1 patch for Linux 2.1.4x+"
it might now reside in dejanews' old archive.

1. ppp-2.3.1 does not compile with Linux kernel 2.0.31

If you want to compile ppp-2.3.1 you have to patch ppp.c from ppp-2.3.1.

There's a patch included with pppsetup below with intructions.

I don't think you need to patch ppp-2.3.0.
