  • This is not really a Ubuntu question... if you want a useful answer, post which cross-compile packages you installed and the parameter for ./configure. And this is not a kernel question!

  • Nothing about this question makes it seem off-topic, but it is unclear.

  • Someone understood what this was about! +1 to the Answer just because he could make something out of nothing. Voted to keep open now.

  • I still don't like post, where the compiler error message is posted without any other information. But voting it down is also unfair to new users

If we talk about Ubuntu here, the needed header is located in libnl-3-dev package (full path will be /usr/include/libnl3/netlink/genl/genl.h).

On Ubuntu 16.04 LTS hostapd needs the following build-dependencies:

  android-headers android-headers-19 autotools-dev debhelper
  dh-strip-nondeterminism docbook docbook-dsssl docbook-to-man docbook-utils
  jadetex libdbus-1-dev libfile-stripnondeterminism-perl libncurses5-dev
  libnl-3-dev libnl-genl-3-dev libnl-route-3-200 libnl-route-3-dev libosp5
  libostyle1c2 libpcsclite-dev libpotrace0 libptexenc1 libqt4-designer
  libqt4-dev libqt4-dev-bin libqt4-help libqt4-qt3support libqt4-scripttools
  libqt4-svg libqt4-test libreadline-dev libreadline6-dev libsgmls-perl
  libsp1c2 libssl-dev libsynctex1 libtexlua52 libtexluajit2 libtinfo-dev
  libzzip-0-13 lynx lynx-common openjade po-debconf qt4-linguist-tools
  qt4-qmake sgml-data sgmlspl sp tex-common texlive-base texlive-binaries
  texlive-fonts-recommended texlive-generic-recommended texlive-latex-base
  texlive-latex-recommended tipa zlib1g-dev

You should adjust your build system to satisfy these dependencies.
