[pptp-server] PPP-2.3.11 & PoPToP 1.0.1 & Kernel 2.2.19

[George Vieira]

I just built one of Friday Night with the same setup.. well. pptp 1.1.2
though..
I always use http://www.vibres.com/pptpd/example.html for me reference and
it works.

One catch I always recommend is to create then save your
/usr/src/linux/.config file before upgrading the kernel.
Then when you have that done.. blow away the whole source tree
(/usr/src/linux) and then tar xvfz the new kernel..

Once the new fresh kernel is there then copy the .config file back and patch
away.

When the kernel is ready for compiling use the `make oldconfig` which uses
your old setup and asks question on new kernel features.

this ALWAYS works for me..

Hopw this helps.


thanks,
George Vieira

Hello everyone!

I am currently trying to setup a VPN server on Linux using the following 
core programs :-

PPP 2.3.11
PoPToP 1.0.1
Kernel 2.2.19

All has been working fine so far and I am able to get MS VPN to login to 
my VPN server.

However, after I applied the following patches to my PPP, I am unable to 
recompile my kernel anymore. I am trying to build a static kernel.

ppp-2.3.11-openssl-0.9.5-mppe.patch
ppp_mppe_compressed_data_fix.diff

This is what I did :-

# Apply patches
cd ppp-2.3.11
# Use this patch to add security & encryption
patch -p1 < ../ppp-2.3.11-openssl-0.9.5-mppe.patch
cd linux
# Use this patch to fix an MS compression bug
patch < ../../ppp_mppe_compressed_data_fix.diff
cd ..
# Configure ppp
./configure
make kernel
# Go to Linux kernel source
cd /usr/src/linux
# Apply ppp patch to kernel
patch -p1 < ../if_ppp_2.2.17.diff
# Compile the kernel
make dep
make clean
make bzImage

When the kernel finished compiling, it died when trying to create the 
vmlinuz file :-

        /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/lib/lib.a /usr/src/linux/lib/lib.a /usr/
src/linux/arch/i386/lib/lib.a \
        --end-group \
        -o vmlinux
drivers/net/net.a(Space.o)(.data.init+0x0): undefined reference to 
`tc90xbc_probe'
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1

Has anyone got Kernel 2.2.19 to work with the above config or know what 
is causing this problem?

Many thanks in advance for any advice.
