Vuurmuur compile fails on Slackware 11

[robby pedro]

Hi Victor, I was trying to upgrade from 0.7 to 0.8b2 on Slackware 11 however the vuurmuur portion fails with the following error:

make: Entering directory `/compile/Vuurmuur-0.8beta2/vuurmuur-0.8beta2/vuurmuur'

I recently did the same upgrade on Slackware 12.2 and it worked fine.

Any ideas?

Is NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_TCPMSS enabled in your kernel or available as a module?

[robby pedro]

Yes it's compiled as a mod - it's in my .config file for this custom compiled kernel:

CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_TCPMSS=m

I also have 2 modules called xt_TCPMSS.ko and xt_tcpmss.ko  in /lib/modules/2.6.24.5xs/kernel/net/netfilter.

Please make sure that you install (make install) the libvuurmuur package first before building vuurmuur.

Also, maybe you have some leftover vuurmuur.h in /usr/include/ or /usr/local/include/

Thank you!!! I did the separate steps and it worked. I think the reason for the failure is that I installed the original version ( 0.6 ) to /usr/local ) whereas I was trying to install to /usr this time, therefore there was probably some confusion between the libs and the build.
