- "makext" probably means userland, so "sys-bsd.c" is highly likely to assume FreeBSD. we have GNU userland, which is what the sources call "linux", so we set makext="linux" (it's ugly to call it like this, but i can live with it ;))
no. "sys-bsd.c" is the code to talk to a BSD-like ppp kernel driver. you will definately want this. If my guess about makext is right, sys-linux.c would work for us after getting rid of some linuxisms. (the first "#if __GLIBC__ >= 2" looks very nice :)) (hmmm my netbsd tree only has sys-bsd.c ....) i really would be surprised if sys-linux.c is what you want for a freebsd kernel. > Checking the configure script at the top level seems that it patches the > freebsd kernel (version 3 and others ancient versions). This is getting more confusing :(. Maybe it means FreeBSD 3.x and lower didn't support PPP natively.. freebsd have changed preferred ppp implemetation from the normal pppd that everyone else (heh) uses to their userland ppp that uses tun(4) instead of ppp(4) i think? Anyway, if FreeBSD 5.x supports their own PPP, their kernel must be patched already. i would be rather surprised if you needed to patch the kernel for ppp at this stage.... .mrg.
