Hi Vitaly @vel21ripn

Just to add more details. I just tested it once again with Debian 12. It seems that nDPI is incompatible with Iptables v1.8.9.

It complains that No pkg-config --variable=xtlibdir xtables.

admin@server:~/nDPI/ndpi-netfilter$ make
make -C ipt
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/admin/nDPI/ndpi-netfilter/ipt'
Makefile:10: *** No pkg-config --variable=xtlibdir xtables.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/admin/nDPI/ndpi-netfilter/ipt'
make: *** [Makefile:2: all] Error 2

This works all fine with Debian 11. It should be the same issue with latest Ubuntu, as Ubuntu is based on Debian.
Do you think you could kindly provide a fix for this?

Debian 11 is slowly getting deprecated.
Thank you,
Houman

A bit more details:

Even though xtables is installed, pkg-config can't find it.

admin@server: sudo apt install xtables-addons-common
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
xtables-addons-common is already the newest version (3.23-1).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

pkg-config --variable=xtlibdir xtables shows nothing.

Great news. It seems on Debian 12 we need to explicitly install:

sudo apt install libxtables-dev

Now it works. Yeeees!

There is only a small warning, not sure if this matters much:
Warning: modules_install: missing 'System.map' file. Skipping depmod.

admin@server:~/nDPI/ndpi-netfilter$ sudo make modules_install
