A quick investigation of Linux-2.6 build model showed that the following simple procedure works for compiling ip_wccp for your kernel: 1. Build and test your kernel. This is required in order to correcly build additional modules.. 2. Create a directory somewhere and place the ip_wccp.c file in this directory. 3. In the same directory create a file named "Makefile" with the following content: obj-m += ip_wccp.o 4. Compile the module by running the following from the top of the kernel tree: make M=/path/to/above/directory modules modules_install 5. Update module dependencies by running depmod -a 6. Load the module modprobe ip_wccp The above is tested on Fedora Core 2, but should work on any Linux-2.6 based system. A big improvement from Linux-2.4. How to build extra modules without first compiling and testing your kernel is possible but is outside the scope of this document as it is very distribution dependent and not how things are supposed to be done.
