I'm having trouble creating RPMs for conntrack (see http://netfilter.org) for CentOS 4.3. The dependencies for conntrack are libnfnetlink and libnetfilter_conntrack; I'd like to make RPMs for these, too. First I tried manually compiling and installing all three on the CentOS box. This seemed to work fine. The only change I had to make to the source was to comment out the line beginning with "URL" in the pkgconfig ".pc" files (must be a feature of a newer version of pkgconfig). Here's how I built the sources: mkdir /tmp/c && cd /tmp/c tar -xvjf /tmp/libnfnetlink-0.0.25.tar.bz2 pushd libnfnetlink-0.0.25 # manually comment out "URL" line in libnfnetlink.pc.in, then... ./configure --prefix=$HOME/tmp/ctk && make -j4 && make install popd tar -xvjf /tmp/libnetfilter_conntrack-0.0.50.tar.bz2 pushd libnetfilter_conntrack-0.0.50 # manually comment out "URL" line in libnetfilter_conntrack.pc.in, then... PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/tmp/ctk/lib/pkgconfig \ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/tmp/ctk && make -j4 && make install popd tar -xvjf /tmp/conntrack-1.00beta2.tar.bz2 pushd conntrack-1.00beta2/ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/tmp/ctk/lib/pkgconfig \ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/tmp/ctk && make -j4 && make install popd Some information about this CentOS 4.3 build system, in case that helps: Linux kernel 2.6.14.3 (SMP) glibc-2.3.4-2.19 gcc-3.4.5-2 rpm-4.3.3-13_nonptl Note that, according to http://people.netfilter.org/pablo/conntrackd/install.html, 2.6.14 is NOT considered recent enough to _run_ conntrack, so perhaps I should not be trying to build conntrack with this old kernel, either. I can't imagine why that would matter for the build, though. And now for my attempt at packaging these in RPMs. As a starting point I used the source RPMs available for Fedora 7. First I tried building and installing the libnfnetlink dependency. With the exception of modifying the pkgconfig .pc files by hand, libnfnetlink builds ok, and libnfnetlink and libnfnetlink-devel both install ok. Next I went for libnetfilter_conntrack. This build fails with some strange errors: ... callback.c: In function `__callback': callback.c:12: error: `NFNL_CB_STOP' undeclared (first use in this function) callback.c:12: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once callback.c:12: error: for each function it appears in.) callback.c:20: error: `NFNL_CB_CONTINUE' undeclared (first use in this function) callback.c:30: warning: passing arg 2 of `__parse_conntrack' from incompatible pointer type callback.c:38: error: `NFNL_CB_FAILURE' undeclared (first use in this function) ... I say strange because (a)this doesn't happen during the "manual" source build, and (b)these constants are indeed defined in an enum in /usr/include/libnfnetlink/libnfnetlink.h, which is included of course included by the libnetfilter_conntrack source code. This error also only happens when trying to build from RPM on CentOS 4.3. Ugh. Any ideas? -- Adam Monsen _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
