How can I build this iptables feature

chxooi · 09-07-2010, 03:08 AM

I am trying to port netfilter on my embedded linux target board.
Target board has linux kernel 2.6.x I started with iptables tutorial.
Also,I extracted the iptables source code on my nfs root file system

But, I don't know how to build and install this iptables for my target board.
whenever I try to "make" and "insall" on my host, it always changes my host iptables not my target.

How can I build this iptables feature on my host for my target.
and which files should be copy(?) or install(?) into my target nfs file system.

I am not understand your question properly.

If you want to install and use iptables you can install from their repository.

Code:

i.e 
in debian/ubuntu 
$ sudo apt-get install iptables

in redhat base distro
# rpm -ivh iptables
or 
# yum instll iptables

Sorry!
I have to move this post to the "embedded category".
