ipt_string.c error

[Izauddin Mohd Isa]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to patch 1.2.6a into a 2.4.16 kernel with the inclusion of
the String Matching filter, but I got this error when compiling the
kernel at the make modules stage. The error as follow :

ipt_string.c:80:72: macro "max" passed 3 arguments, but takes just 2
ipt_string.c: In function `search_sublinear':
ipt_string.c:53: warning: subscript has type `char'
ipt_string.c:78: warning: subscript has type `char'
ipt_string.c:80: `max' undeclared (first use in this function)
ipt_string.c:80: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
ipt_string.c:80: for each function it appears in.)
make[2]: *** [ipt_string.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.16/net/ipv4/netfilter'
make[1]: *** [_modsubdir_ipv4/netfilter] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.16/net'
make: *** [_mod_net] Error 2

I thought that the string matching can be used with kernel that above 2.4.9,
why do the error occur on the 2.4.16 kernel. I'm also patching the kernel with LIDS.
