Hello, I would like to report that I followed the instruction of the (excellent) guide on how to write netfilter modules (rev Feb. 7 2011). I had difficulties compiling an xtable extension shared library. It turns out that using the gcc provided with my distribution, gcc (Debian 4.6.0-9) 4.6.1 20110524 (prerelease) the options -DPIC -fPIC are required when building the object file. The instructions page 27 should be updated with the following Makefile lines: CFLAGS = -O2 -Wall lib%.so: lib%.o gcc -shared -o $@ $^; lib%.o: lib%.c gcc ${CFLAGS} -D_INIT=lib$*_init -c -o $@ $<; -- 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
