Hi Frank, The libnftnl patch was comitted 2 minutes before you posted :/ It all builds fine for me now. Your problem is with generating the man page rather than with compiling the code. There is a separate Makefile in nftables/doc which you can run on its own to do this. When I run "make V=1" in nftables/doc I see the single command > docbook2x-man --xinclude nft.xml which gnerates nft.8 for me when I run it. Do you have that utility? docbook2x-man and jw both come from package linuxdoc-tools (on Slackware, at least). If you end up installing docbook2x-man, you should likely re-run ./configure before re-trying make. Cheers ... Duncan. On Tue, Oct 17, 2017 at 01:19:28PM -0400, Frank A.
