how to install xtables extension to arbitrary path when cross compiling? I have this issue, which I cannot resolve, when cross compiling iptables 1.4.8 with ./configure --prefix=/home/kevin/fs/test1_iptables ... and running afterwards make and make install, and then on the target machine (which access the fs by NFS) I run: iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j SNAT -s 10.1.1.25 The error I get is: ./iptables -A FORWARD -i eth1 -j SNAT iptables v1.4.8: Couldn't load target `SNAT' :/home/kevin/fs/test1_iptables/libexec/xtables/libipt_SNAT.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Of course I don't have /home/kevin/fs/ on the boards (this path is on the machine on which I ran the cross compile). I saw this post in gmane.comp.security.firewalls.netfilter.general. http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.security.firewalls.netfilter.general/40914 but it seems that the problem persists. I tried also to work with DESTDIR and with other ideas from this post, but nothing helped. What is the problem here, does anybody know ? I believe that cross compiling iptables and setting a path to xtables libs not to an absolute path is possible. Any ideas ? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
