 Prerequisites
 =============

  - standard glibc headers, gcc etc.

  - libnl including support for nftables: git://git.netfilter.org/libnl-nft.git

  - flex

  - bison

  - libgmp

  - libreadline

  - optional: docbook2x: required for building man-page

  - optional: docbook-utils: required for building PDF man-page

 Configuring and compiling
 =========================

 Run "sh autogen.sh" to generate the configure script, then:

 sh 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.

 --disable-debug

	Disable debugging

 Run "make" to compile nftables, "make install" to install it in the
