[squid-users] x-forwarded-for patch (again)

After following some instrucions on this list I downloaded
squid-2.5.STABLE9 and patched with the x_forwarded_for patch and
nothing works.

here is a summary of what I did:

downloaded and untarred STABLE9

Stefano (the squid package maintainer for squid) graciously provided me
the ./configure statement he uses to build the slackware package and
Ive enclosed that ./configure line below for reference.

./configure --bindir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc/squid
--datadir=/etc/squid --libexecdir=/usr/libexec/squid
--localstatedir=/var/log/squid --enable-removal-policies="lru heap"
--enable-auth="basic ntlm digest" --enable-basic-auth-helpers="NCSA
MSNT SMB winbind YP" --enable-digest-auth-helpers=password
--enable-external-acl-helpers="ip_user unix_group wbinfo_group
winbind_group" --enable-ntlm-auth-helpers="SMB winbind"
--enable-async-io --with-pthreads --with-aio --enable-storeio="ufs null
aufs coss" --enable-delay-pools --enable-snmp --enable-ssl --enable-icmp
--enable-cache-digests --disable-wccp --disable-http-violations
--disable-ident-lookups --enable-useragent-log --enable-arp-acl
--prefix=/usr

(please excuse the wordwrap)

STABLE9 configure works fine, and so does make all (I didnt make install)

I patched the source with x_forwarded_for patch and manually applied
the 2 failed hunks src/structs.h

as instructed I ran ./bootstrap.sh and I get this output and error message:

autoconf failed
Autotool bootstrapping failed. You will need to investigate and correct
before you can develop on this source tree

As you can see the bootstrap of the new patch fails

if I run /bootstrap.sh again then the output is the same as above but
somehow the last sentence about the failure is gone, and all seems to
have worked.

however if you try to make all you are going to get a make warning
stating that the linux_netfilter was found but that it couldnt be
compiled against and it wont be installed.

could someone please tell me what is going on here?

Stefano has graciously offered to make the x_forwarded_for patch a part
of the slackware package from STABLE12 on

I would suggest that if you are on another distro that you contact your
package maintainer and ask that the x_forwarded_for patch be available
in your distros package.

however, not wanting to wait till STABLE12 is released, can someone
tell what I am doing wrong from the above?

Thanks
