Installation instructions for nftables
======================================
Prerequisites
=============
- build tooling: glibc headers, gcc, autotools, automake, libtool, pkg-config.
- libmnl: git://git.netfilter.org/libmnl.git
- libnftnl: git://git.netfilter.org/libnftnl.git
- flex
- bison
- libgmp: alternatively, see mini-gmp support below.
- libreadline or libedit or linenoise: required by interactive command line
- optional: libxtables: required to interact with iptables-compat
- optional: libjansson: required to build JSON support
- optional: asciidoc: required for building 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.
--datarootdir=
The base directory for arch-independent files. Defaults to
$prefix/share.
--disable-debug
Disable debugging
--with-mini-gmp
Use builtin mini-gmp instead of linking with a shared libgmp.
This is useful for embedded platforms optimizing for size and
having no other use for libgmp.
Note: This decreases the debugging verbosity in some files.
--with-xtables
For libxtables support to interact with the iptables-compat
utility.
--without-cli
To disable interactive command line support, ie. -i/--interactive.
--with-cli=readline
To enable interactive command line support with libreadline.
--with-cli=linenoise
To enable interactive command line support with linenoise.
--with-cli=editline
To enable interactive command line support with libedit.
--with-json
To enable JSON support, this requires libjansson.
Run "make" to compile nftables, "make install" to install it in the
configured paths.
Python support
==============
CPython bindings are available for nftables under the py/ folder. They can be
installed using pip:
python -m pip install py/
A legacy setup.py script can also be used:
( cd py && python setup.py install )
However, this method is deprecated.
