Compiling iptables for Ipaq

hi
 
I am trying to compile the user-space program "iptables" for linux-2.4.18-rmk3-hh6.
I have downloaded the latest iptables file and : iptables-1.2.8.tar.bz2 
And the patch: Patch against 1.2.7a
I have also tried the patch-o-matic patch-o-matic-20030107.tar.bz2
When i tried to "make" on both the patches, the prompt returned with "nothing to be done"
 
When i run a genral make i get the following error:
 
[root@manet iptables-1.2.8]# make
Extensions found:
ld -shared -o extensions/libipt_ah.so extensions/libipt_ah_sh.o
ld: extensions/libipt_ah_sh.o: Relocations in generic ELF (EM: 40)
extensions/libipt_ah_sh.o: could not read symbols: File in wrong format
make: *** [extensions/libipt_ah.so] Error 1
[root@manet iptables-1.2.8]#
 
I seem to be following the instructions so i dont know where i am going wrong. (My KERNEL_DIR is the source code directory for the kernel i am using)
Both 'gcc' and 'arm-linux-gcc' (for the iPaq) give me the same error.
 
Please could someone help me.
Many thanks in advance for your kind response.

My most obvious suggestion would be:

 

- clean out the object files with a make distclean

- Hard code CC as arm-linux-gcc or gcc if you aren't cross compiling

- Make sure you `make config` on the kernel set to the arm platform you
are going to run it on. Not sure if this makes a difference, but I can
see that it might.

 

 

Ack, it has been so long since doing this stuff! Maybe after I wrangle
that free PDA out of the evil empire's hands, I will `Linify` it!

hi

 

I am trying to compile the user-space program "iptables" for
linux-2.4.18-rmk3-hh6.

I have downloaded the latest iptables file and : iptables-1.28.tar.bz2
<http://www.netfilter.org/files/iptables-1.2.8.tar.bz2>  

And the patch: Patch against 1.2.7a
<http://www.netfilter.org/files/patch-iptables-1.2.7a-1.2.8.bz2> 

I have also tried the patch-o-matic patch-o-matic-20030107.tar.bz2
<http://www.netfilter.org/files/patch-o-matic-20030107.tar.bz2> 

When i tried to "make" on both the patches, the prompt returned with
"nothing to be done"

 

When i run a genral make i get the following error:

 

[root@manet iptables-1.2.8]# make
Extensions found:
