7 Construction problems

7.1 I get compile errors when I try to compile the kernel A: Did you edit the `ppp.c` file to reflect thesettings for the kernel that you are using? There are two defineswhich must be set correctly if you are going to compile the code forPPP.

The third define near the top of the file is called OPTIMIZE_FLAG_TIME. This may or may not be set with any version of the kernel which supports PPP.

Additional information is in the ppp.c file.

NOTE: For kernels from 1.1.14, do not replace the ppp.c file in the drivers/net directory nor the ppp.h file in the /usr/include/linux directory. The drivers and the include file are the proper values for your kernel.

So, from the above list, you will find that 1.1.8 kernel will need NET02D and NEW_TTY_DRIVERS both undefined. Likewise, the 1.1.18 kernel will already have things configured for it. Do nothing special.
