First of all, thanks for your quick reply.<br><br>Obviously I did sth wrong because the size of my filesystem increased in more than 3MB because of the installation of the libnl which is much larger than yours... I guess, following the draw in their website <a href="http://www.infradead.org/%7Etgr/libnl/">(http://www.infradead.org/~tgr/libnl/</a>), that libnl-genl denpends only on libnl so I can get rid of libnl-route and libnl-nf without any problem. Am I correct? Maybe I should add that I am working on a ARM architecture and on a cross-compiled environment.<br>
<br>Below is what I did:<br><br><b>./configure --host=arm --prefix=/path/to/rootfs CC=arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc</b><br><br><b>make</b><br><br><b>make install</b><br><br>How should I proceed? Many thanks for your help<br><br>Best regards<br>

</div></div>The default is to compile all modular components into separate<br>
libraries. You will find the .so files in lib/.libs/ after<br>
successful compilation.<br>
<br>
Please note that libnl-genl has a dependency on libnl in order<br>
to function but you can leave out libnl-route etc.<br>
<br>
Don't forget to strip off debug symbols etc. to further reduce<br>
the size of the libraries.<br>
<br>
On my system, the size goes down to:<br>
-rwxrwxr-x. 1 tgraf tgraf 106K Dec 10 22:49 libnl-3.so.200.12.1<br>
-rwxrwxr-x. 1 tgraf tgraf 22K Dec 10 22:49 libnl-genl-3.so.200.12.1<br>
<br>
We can easily half this with some compile time options if the<br>
above is still too large.<br>
