Ppp installation in Linux and "field 'pppol2tp 'has incomplete type" solution

PPP official website download: https://download.samba.org/pub/ppp/

Compile:

Root @ zhaoxc-VBox:/opt/arm-tools/ppp-2.4.5 #./configure -- prefix =/opt/arm-tools/ppp-2.4.5/install-arm/

Root @ zhaoxc-VBox:/opt/arm-tools/ppp-2.4.5 # make CC = arm-none-linux-gnueabi

Root @ zhaoxc-VBox:/opt/arm-tools/ppp-2.4.5 # make install

Note 1: due to the initial compilation command. /configure -- host = arm-none-linux-gnueabi -- prefix =/opt/arm-tools/ppp-2.4.5/install-arm/actually generated Makefile does not specify the compiler, however, make uses gcc instead of arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc, so it cannot run on ARM. Error "pppd-sh: cannot execute binary file"

Note 2: "ppp install" error: field 'pppol2tp 'has incomplete type "error occurred during make, and then search for the cause. Find a great solution on the Internet: add the program in ppp-2.4.5/include/linux/if_pppol2tp.h as follows:

--- Ppp-2.4.5/include/linux/if_pppol2tp.h 2009-11-16 22:26:07. 000000000 + 0000

++ Ppp-2.4.5/include/linux/if_pppol2tp.h 2010-07-16 22:35:22. 000000000 + 0100

Copy to ARM:

After following the above make, the following four files are directly located in the directory due to an error in make install:

Chat pppd pppdump pppstats

Copy to the/usr/sbin directory of ARM

 

Create the/etc/ppp directory:

Copy files from the appropriate ppp-2.4.5 directory and create the following directory structure:

/Etc/ppp/chap-secrets

/Etc/ppp/pap-secrets

/Etc/ppp/ip-up

/Etc/ppp/ip-down

/Etc/ppp/peer/
