The Linux 2.4 and 2.6 series of kernels are supported by this software.

Building has been tested on RedHat 9 and SUSE 9.x, although your results
may vary.

In general, you will need to have your kernel source in /usr/src/linux
to build IPFilter but different Linux projects may differ.  See below.

Projects
========

Fedora
------
For Fedora, point your web browser at this URL and follow the instructions:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel

For me, following the instructions put all of the kernel source code (for
Fedora 11) in $HOME/rpmbuild. As an example of the directory I used, see
BUILDROOT in Makefile.


Building IPFilter
=================
The steps required are as follows:

1. Create the binaries

make linux

2. Create the RPM file

make install-linux

3. In an ideal world, this step wouldn't be required.  At this point you
need to locate the actual RPM file as the rpmbuild failed in the previous
step.  Now run:

rpm -i /path/to/ipfilter.rpm

At this point IPFilter should be installed and ready to use.
