I'm on CentOS 7 and trying to compile nftables 0.9.6.
For requirements I downloaded the sources from https://www.netfilter.org/pub
and:
- I compiled and installed the latest libmnl-1.0.4 in /usr/local.
(./configure && make && make install && ldconfig)
- I compiled and installed the latest libnftl-1.1.6 in /usr/local.
(PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig ./configure && make && make
install && ldconfig)
When configuring nftables-0.9.6 it says that libmnl is okay, but it requires
libnftl-1.1.7:
================
checking for LIBMNL... yes
checking for LIBNFTNL... no
configure: error: Package requirements (libnftnl >= 1.1.7) were not met:
Requested 'libnftnl >= 1.1.7' but version of libnftnl is 1.1.6
You may find new versions of libnftnl at
http://netfilter.org/projects/libnftnl/
================
At the time of writing there is no libnftl-1.1.7 in
https://www.netfilter.org/pub/libnftnl/ so I checked Git. In git there is a
1.1.7 tag, so I cloned the repo and switched to the libnftnl-1.1.7 tag.
There is one here:
http://www.netfilter.org/projects/libnftnl/downloads.html
2020-Jun-05: libnftnl-1.1.7
libnftnl-1.1.7.tar.bz2 : GPG signature (key) : sha256sum 20dbc13f11004aea2c9e479cfb90359cb11fe3446c3140811c18e4ec1648ed8f
I just resync the /pub directory so you can also find it there, the
robot failed to rsync the folder for some reason.
When configuring, it returns a syntax error:
================
./configure: line 4141: syntax error near unexpected token `LIBMNL,'
./configure: line 4141: `PKG_CHECK_MODULES(LIBMNL, libmnl >= 1.0.4)'
================
I don't know how to fix this..
You have to install pkg-config.
I found posts mentioning this so I checked to be sure. pkg-config was
already installed, and also updating it to the latest version didn't help.
Thanks for this. I just successfully compiled and installed
libnftl-1.1.7 and nftables-0.9.6.
