/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lnetlink error

[gregg-p]

I am attempting to compile the makefile in iprohc. On Ubuntu 22.04. GCC Compiler.

Command$: make all

Result$: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lnetlink: No such file or directory

I have installed the following packages:

libnl-3-dev, libnl-genl-3-dev, libnl-route-3-dev, libnl-nf-3-dev, libnl-cli-3-dev, iproute2

If anyone is able to get this repo to compile or has any tips I would greatly appreciate it!

Hello,

These files are available in iproute2:

https://github.com/CumulusNetworks/iproute2/blob/master/include/libnetlink.h
https://github.com/CumulusNetworks/iproute2/blob/master/lib/libnetlink.c

Unfortunately the Debian and Ubuntu packages for iproute2 do not include them. So you have to build the library yourself.

libnl provides similar functionality but its API is not compatible, so it cannot be used as a drop-in replacement.
