I'm trying to compile hostapd, and for that it needs the headerfile genl.h which is supposed to be a part of the libnl1 library (I searched around, the best I got was a recommendation to update libnl1.1) Somehow that headerfile is not available on the system anywhere, I checked some include folders and used locate genl.h but got no result. wireless  hostapd share improve this question asked  Jan 30 at 5:26 user88053 6 1

The /usr/include/netlink/genl/genl.h header file is contained in the libnl-dev package. The latest version in the repositories is 1.1-7. sudo apt-get install libnl-dev will also install the libnl1 library as a dependency. share improve this answer
