I have a Slackware 3.2 installation, I started trying out the included ppp -
version 2.2.0, and it worked, but I wanted dial-on-demand, so I downloaded
ppp-2.3.4. I also needed IP forwarding, and decided if I was going to the
trouble of compiling a kernel, it might as well be the latest stable release, so
I downloaded 2.0.37.
I built and installed a new kernel OK, then started on the ppp. I did
./configure and make kernel, and started rebuilding the kernel again. When I
got to make zImage, I got compilation errors in ppp.c (listed below).
I've checked all the README's and FAQ's I can find on ppp, and the only
(slightly) relevant comment I found was about a broken "rev" in Slackware 3.0
causing make kernel to fail. I'm using Slackware 3.2, but I downloaded a new
"rev" anyway, and it did not affect the problem, so it is not that. Sorry if I
have missed something obvious.
As it might be compiler-related, gcc reports:
gcc version 2.7.2.1
And I'm using:
Linux kernel 2.0.37
Slackware 3.2
ppp 2.3.4
Please help. Thanks.
