Subject: [PATCH iproute2] configure: require libmnl
Date: Thu, 31 May 2018 15:32:09 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180531193209.27406-1-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)

Several users of BPF and other features are trying to build without
libmnl, then complaining that features don't work.  The time has
come to require libmnl to build iproute2.
