Hi Pablo,
I've just tried to build conntrack-tools and all the required netfilter
libraries from scratch. The libs were built and installed without
problems, but then conntrack-tools failed to compile with a missing
include problem.
Looks like conntrack-tools' autoconf/automake templates do not properly
use pkg-config information. configure.in detects the presence of
libnfnetlink and libnetfilter_conntrack using pkg-config, but then fails
to add the necessary flags to the compile and linker flags. For me, this
is a problem because all those libraries live under /opt/netfilter, and
thus compilation fails because of missing headers.
The attached patch fixes this problem for me, although I'm quite sure that
it does not break compilation for someone else. (Should not, but I'm not
much of an autoconf expert...)
