That does not work when cross compiling. Tell me how to properly check for the changed skb structures without using versions or compiling code. Perhaps these changed should set defines that do not rely on kernel versions. We now had to make our own defines which we then set in the spec file. They are also versioned, but for fedora we need to override these in the spec file. So far we already have: HAVE_SOCK_ZAPPED NET_26_12_SKALLOC HAVE_SOCK_SECURITY HAVE_SKB_NF_DEBUG SYSCTL_IPSEC_DEFAULT_TTL HAVE_TSTAMP HAVE_INET_SK_SPORT Unfortunately, I really have no idea how to better do this, unless fedora ships some kernel header so at least all software projects could just re-use the same defines and all projects wouldn't have to re-invent the wheel. Because so far, we usually find out only after a kernel api broke. Better documentation about these would be appreciated.
