FOLLOW THESE STEPS:
===================
1) If /usr/src/linux contains the kernel headers of a recent 2.4
kernel:
% make
Otherwise:
% make KERNEL_DIR=<<where-your-kernel-is>>
2) Finally, you need to to install the shared libraries, and the binary:
# make install
Or
# make install KERNEL_DIR=<<where-your-kernel-is>>
That's it!
================
Problems you may encounter:
1) If your kernel is too old, you may be asked to apply one or more of
the patches in the directory to your kernel. This can be safely
done as follows:
cp -al <<where-your-kernel-is>> <<where-your-kernel-is>>.backup
cd <<where-your-kernel-is>>
patch -p1 < <<whatever-the-patchfile-is>>
Then start again.
2) If you get the kernel directory wrong, you may see a message like:
Please try `make KERNEL_DIR=path-to-correct-kernel'
3) If you want to specify alternate directories for installation
(instead of /usr/local/ bin lib man), do this:
% make BINDIR=/usr/bin LIBDIR=/usr/lib MANDIR=/usr/man
# make BINDIR=/usr/bin LIBDIR=/usr/lib MANDIR=/usr/man install
NOTE: make sure you build with at least the correct LIBDIR=
specification, otherwise iptables(8) won't know where to find the
dynamic objects.
