I wonder why recent (at least, Fedora Core 7) distributed kernel header package for user programs does not include /usr/include/linux/compiler.h . > So I wonder, do we actually support building iptables without a > kernel source tree? I prefer to keep people easy to try newer iptables as possible. We can add include/linux/compiler.h to iptables or remove __user, etc. from headers of iptables. -- Yasuyuki Kozakai - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
