[xtables-addons] extensions in a non-modular kernel

[Wiktor Kolodziej]

Hello,

Is there any easy way to compile extensions into a non-modular kernel?

I've found in Jan's "An Introduction to Xtables-addons" that this is
possible, but can you please give me some more info how to do it?
What do you mean by "editing some kernel Makefile to descend into
xtables-addons/extensions" ?

Depends on the definition of easy.

ln -s ~/xtables-addons ~/linux/net/netfilter/
echo "obj-y += xtables-addons/extensions/" 
	>>~/linux/net/netfilter/Makefile

Granted it does not stop there, one needs to modify extensions/Kbuild 
because it depends on symbols from mconfig (oh my) which would need to
be exchanged to obj-y or something.

Thanks for helping with that.
I've created a script that does it automatically.
I'm attaching it if somebody needs to quickly build a non-modular
kernel with xtables-addons.
