[pptp-server] SuSE 7.0 2.2.16 PPP 2.3.11 PPTP 1.1.2 w MPPE and compression patc h -- ERROR tty_pushing ...

[Sekerovic Dragan]

hi list!

maybe this informations could be usefull (doc from
http://poptop.lineo.com/releases/PoPToP-RedHat-HOWTO.txt)

yesterday i spend a hard time in getting PPTP 1.1.2 / PPP 2.3.11 w MPPE and
mppe compression patch running on my SuSE 7.0 machine.

my big problem was, that after compliling ppp 2.3.11 source, you have to do
a make kernel. at this position take care. 

if you do a make kernel in /usr/src/ppp-2.3.11 the shell calls
linux/kinstall.sh. kinstall.sh looks for the date of the linux-kernelsource
files to be overwritten. in my case this files were newer than the files
from the source of ppp-2.3.11:

drivers/net/bsd_comp.c, drivers/net/ppp_deflate.c, drivers/net/zlib.h,
include/linux/if_pppvar.h

so i had to delete these files from the linux-kernelsource manually and then
i did a make kernel again. only after this your modules will compile without
any errors.

the first time i didn't see the message, that the files from the source are
newer. and so i get a lot of errors while compiling the net-modules. for
example:

tty_pushing and so on

p.s.: don't worry about my englisch
