problem with xtables-addons and CentOS 5.3

[Leonardo Rodrigues]

    Hi,

    i'm having a hard time trying to compile xtables-addons 1.14 on a 
CentOS 5.3 x86_64 box

    i'm using:

./configure --prefix=/usr --with-xtables=/usr

    and make

    and the failure is:

make[2]: Entering directory `/tmp/xtables-addons-1.14/extensions'
  GEN      modules

I added appropriate warning mechanisms to configure.ac for the next
release that this distro is unsupported.

    hmmmm that's bad ..... is there any workaround, or it's simply 
unsupported ?

    is it the shipped iptables that has problem ? is it some shipped lib 
that has problems ?

It is the RHEL/Centos kernel that's riddled with problematic backports 
as usual.

    so getting a fresh kernel source (from www.kernel.org) and get it 
running should workaround the problem ?

    i'll just try that .....  thanks for the hint.

    after compiling a vanilla kernel, i could successfully compile 
xtables-addons 1.14 on CentOS 5.3 x86_64 box.

    Jan .... what do you thinkg about changing the warning

echo "WARNING: This distribution is not officially supported.";

    to something like:

echo "WARNING: This distribution is not officially supported when using 
CentOS/RHEL supplied kernel.";
echo "When using a kernel compiled from scratch, from official kernel 
sources (not CentOS/RHEL ones),"
echo "xtables-addons can be compiled and works fine."

    it would be more useful than simply 'not supported' ......

    i dont know if that would be necessary, but i uninstalled supplied 
iptables as well and installed from sources. So i have successfully:


[root@centos53 ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS  release  5.3  (Final)

[root@centos53 ~]# iptables --version    
iptables  v1.4.3.2

[root@centos53 ~]# uname -a
Linux centos53  2.6.29.1-grsec  #1  SMP  Mon  Apr  27  16:30:29  BRT  
2009  x86_64  x86_64  x86_64  GNU/Linux
[root@centos53 ~]#

and xtables-addons 1.14

Ok so I changed it, because accuracy is in my interest.

-echo "WARNING: This distribution is not officially supported.";
+echo "WARNING: This distribution's shipped kernel is not supported.";
