compile problem with 1.2.10

compile problem with 1.2.10

[Jamie Pratt]

Hi, I'm trying to compile 1.2.10 on a RH 7.2 box, running kernel 2.4.26.
(The prior version is 1.2.9, no POM or anything fancy, just the default 
stuff..)

I get the following error upon running 'make KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/linux' :

cc -O2 -Wall -Wunused -I/usr/src/linux/include -Iinclude/ 
-DIPTABLES_VERSION=\"1.2.10\"  -DIPT_LIB_DIR=\"/usr/local/lib/iptables\" 
-rdynamic -o iptables iptables-standalone.c iptables.o libiptc/libiptc.a 
-ldl -lnsl
/bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `;'
/bin/sh: -c: line 1: `if [ -n "" ]; then  for ext in ; do  echo ".SS 
$ext (not supported, see Patch-O-Matic)" ; cat 
extensions/libipt_$ext.man ; done ; fi >>extensions/libipt_matches.man'
make: *** [extensions/libipt_matches.man] Error 2
rm libiptc/libip6tc.o libiptc/libip4tc.o


Any ideas?

regards,
jamie

The bug has been fixed in the iptables cvs. The new iptables release will
be issued soon.

Thank you for the reporting: iptables-1.2.10 was compiled countless times,
but the possibility you tripped over never came out for the developers
:-(.

Best regards,
Jozsef
