Hi guys.
I wanted to know how i could compile the miniupnp daemon on the raspberry pi. I had some trouble with the install instructions. it seems the iptables script does not work properly.I am getting this error


pi@raspberrypi ~/miniupnpd-1.0 $ sudo ./netfilter/iptables_init.sh
External IP =
Bad argument `eth0'
Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.
Bad argument `eth0'
Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.


Also. Just to be clear, do i need to also compile the minissdp code as well?
Im not sure. thanks.

regards

you don't need minissdpd.

you should edit iptables_init.sh so it works on your machine
$ ip -4 addr show eth0 | awk '/inet/ { print $2 }' | cut -d "/" -f 1
doesn't work for you apparently

Hey, thanks. I must have been really tired cause i did forgot some small details. anyways. That line works. I had to change the EXTIF variable to wlan0, since thats how my device is connected.

The last line gives a bad argument error though

Bad argument `wlan0'

It is happenning on this line:
$IPTABLES -t filter -A FORWARD -i $EXTIF -o ! $EXTIF -j MINIUPNPD

I confirmed this by also trying to execute the commands manually. what exactly is the -o ! part doing?

I have other issues when trying to compile miniupnpd on raspberry. Apparently the linux source headers arent included so i get compilation errors of iptables.h not found.

man iptables

ok just in case someone else has an issue. The problem seems to be the positioning of the command options. I swapped the -o and ! and the script works fine now. The new command should look like this:

$IPTABLES -t filter -A FORWARD -i $EXTIF ! -o $EXTIF -j MINIUPNPD

Now to find out how i can fix the iptables.h not found error on the Pi.
