Yes, it is a syntactical error at that line.
Please test l2tpd-0.70_pre20031121. If it works, I will mark as stable on x86; it stayed too long in unstable state.

[Comment 2 Robson Paniago 2004-11-20 04:23:20 UTC]

The l2tpd-0.70_pre20031121 at least compiled. However, I'm still in process of testing it.

saw this error elsewhere - you can't concatinate __FUNCTION__ with another string as of gcc 3.4.somthing.

[Comment 4 SpanKY 2004-12-05 00:33:36 UTC]

well the problem here is that you need to pass __FUNCTION__ into a '%s' ... you cant use it with the old style anymore

invalid: printf(__FUNCTION__ ": blah blah\n");
valid: printf("%s: blah blah\n", __FUNCTION__);

this seems to be fixed in newer versions (according to Comment #1) ... net-dialup, feel free to back port patches, make new patches, or just unmask newer versions

stable on x86
