Installation instructions for iptables ====================================== ebtables uses the well-known configure(autotools) infrastructure. $ ./configure $ make # make install Prerequisites ============= * no kernel-source required * but obviously a compiler, glibc-devel and linux-kernel-headers (/usr/include/linux) Configuring and compiling ========================= ./configure [options] --prefix= The prefix to put all installed files under. It defaults to /usr/local, so the binaries will go into /usr/local/bin, sbin, manpages into /usr/local/share/man, etc. If you want to enable debugging, use ./configure CFLAGS="-ggdb3 -O0" CPPFLAGS="-DEBT_DEBUG" (-O0 is used to turn off instruction reordering, which makes debugging much easier.)
