Error in creating image with RAS component added

I am using PB5.0, and I had created a simple image containing serial ports,
and other minimal stuff required for my use. Later on, I needed to have RAS
and PPP included in my image so that I can have my device connect to a GPRS
network via a GPRS modem. Now, when I added the required components for RAS
and PPP, and I try to build the image, I get an error saying "failed or do
not know how to make ppp2lcp.lib". On investigating the problem, I found that
I had this lib in the \Lib\x86\Debug but it was missing from the Retail
folder. I tried using a copy of the debug version, but ran into other errors.
I then tried build the private source code provided. While building this the
compiler failed to find files md5.h, rc4.h, and so on, and hence I could get
the required libs made.

I do not understand why these files are missing on my PC. Has anyone faced
sch problems? How do I resolve this issue?

Please Help!!!

Thanks

Well, assuming that when you say "\Lib\X86\Debug" you mean under your
wince500\public\common\oak folder, I don't know why that library would be
missing, unless you had tried previously to build it from the PRIVATE tree,
which may have (with a Clean Build flag) deleted the original lib file.

Not all the source code in the PRIVATE tree can be rebuilt. I'm not sure
one way or another about this particular file, but the PB docs cover which
subfolders of the private tree can be rebuilt. In any case, ALWAYS make a
backup of your original MS binaries before trying to rebuild anything from
the private code.

At this point, my suggestion for the safest resolution to your problem is to
reinstall from your PB discs and reapply any QFEs you had installed.
