From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Date: Thu, 22 Jun 2000 10:37:04 -0400 From: Josh Huber To: Linux/PowerPC Devel List Subject: PPTP and mppe module Message-ID: <20000622103704.A4900@mclx.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-linuxppc-dev@lists.linuxppc.org List-Id: In an effort to set up the pptp client on my powerbook, I downloaded the PPP source, patched it with the required patch, installed the proper rc4* files into the ppp source tree, and installed the new ppp files into the kernel. the kernel I'm using is the latest BK tree in the 2.2 series. Now, everything seemed to be working as planned, but when I went to build and install the ppp drivers, I ran into a couple of problems. First, the 2.3.10 ppp header for include/linux/if_ppp.h doesn't have defines for PPP_MAGIC and PPP_VERSION which is used throughout the ppp.c driver. I added the proper defines and the build continued. The only issue I had left was the ppp_mppe.o module had unresolved symbols...a couple of strange ones too: # insmod ./ppp_mppe.o ./ppp_mppe.o: unresolved symbol __floatsidf ./ppp_mppe.o: unresolved symbol __adddf3 Which both appear to be in libgcc: $ nm /usr/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-linux/2.95.2/libgcc.a|grep floatsidf 0000128c T __floatsidf $ nm /usr/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-linux/2.95.2/libgcc.a|grep adddf3 0000069c T __adddf3 So, I tried linking libgcc with ld like so: $ ld -r /usr/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-linux/2.95.2/libgcc.a ppp_mppe.o -o tmp.o This seems to allow the module to load, but I won't be able to test it until I get home. Anyone know what's going on here? I looked at the code, and couldn't find any reference to floating point math there... Anyone tried getting a VPN client working on PPC?
