1. Compiling modules without compiling kernel

Hello All,

Is there a way I can compile a module without compiling the kernel?

To be more specific, I'm trying to use ppp on the system and the admin
didn't compile the module when he compiled the kernel.  I want this to
be a loadable module.  

Also I want to be able to compile any module in the future so if there
is a generic way, I like to know.

The command I used (with no luck) is the following:

gcc -I/usr/src/linux-2.2.18/include/  -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -O6 -c
ppp.c

I'm getting the following error:

ppp.c:176: parse error before `EXPORT_SYMTAB_not_defined'
ppp.c:176: warning: data definition has no type or storage class
ppp.c:177: parse error before `EXPORT_SYMTAB_not_defined'
ppp.c:177: warning: data definition has no type or storage class
ppp.c:264: parse error before `EXPORT_SYMTAB_not_defined'
ppp.c:264: warning: data definition has no type or storage class

Any help would be great.  Thank you in advance for your help.

Joseph
