I am trying to compile a script that helps me test LinuxPTP. The testptp.c file is a script that helps do this. It is built into the Linux kernel. However, I am unable to compile it. Is this just me? I see tons of people talking about this utility script but the only tutorials online I see are this: https://docs.nvidia.com/networking/display/NVIDIA5TTechnologyUserManualv10/Testptp

It tells you to compile testptp.c using gcc. I compiled using the following command, in a directory with just testptp.c: gcc testptp.c -o testptp. I also pulled the Linux kernel from git and went into tools/testing/selftests/ptp and ran make. Both yielded the same results.

Here is my output:

I am running Ubuntu 20.04. Linux Kernel Version: 5.15.0-53-generic

Does this work for anyone else?

  • You also need to tell us which kernel this refers to and if this is the running version. It certainly compiles here on opensuse 5.14.21-24.33

Overriding the file /usr/include/linux/ptp_clock.h with the following file seems to work for me.
