IPset: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 00:36, 10 December 2011

Because IPset is both a userspace utility and a set of kernel modules, it poses something of a challenge to compile. Here's how I did it:

I used this procedure to compile a Porteus kernel. Note that we're not actually replacing 000-kernel.xzm, but a fully configured and compiled kernel has to exist on the system for IPset to compile. You just have to compile it, not install it, not install new modules, and not rebuild 000-kernel.xzm.
Once the kernel is compiled but not installed (on Windbringer running VirtualBox this took about five hours) download and uncompress the latest version of IPset.
su -
make KERNEL_DIR=/path/to/your/compiled/linux-2.6.38.6
Pay close attention. If everything goes as planned it won't take long to build.
Now install the utility and kernel modules into a fakeroot so they can be packaged:

 DESTDIR=/tmp/fakeroot make KERNEL_DIR=/path/to/your/compiled/linux-2.6.38.6 install
