Bug 157238 – net-firewall/iptables-1.3.6 does not like ipp2p

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Farid 2006-12-05 09:06:15 UTC]

net-firewall/ipp2p-0.8.2 together with iptables-1.3.6-r1 does not work.

# iptables -m ipp2p --help
iptables v1.3.6: Couldn't load match `ipp2p'

Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.


# emerge -av iptables

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] net-firewall/iptables-1.3.6-r1  USE="extensions l7filter -imq -ipv6 -static" 0 kB

The ipp2p Makefile has a line: ld -shared ...
But doing a ldd reveals that it statically linked

$ ldd /lib/iptables/libipt_ipp2p.so
        statically linked

Replacing "ld" by $(CC) solves the problem.

I added this line to the ebuild in src_unpack(),

        sed -i -e "s/ld -shared/\$\(CC\) -shared/" Makefile

Now I get:

$ ldd /lib/iptables/libipt_ipp2p.so
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xb7f6d000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb7e3b000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)

And it works!

All libipt_* modules installed by iptables-1.3.5-r4 are statically linked.
I will take care of this.

fixed in net-firewall/ipp2p-0.8.2-r1.
