+From 18a08fb7f0443f8bde83393bd6f69e23a04246b3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
+From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
+Date: Tue, 22 Feb 2022 00:56:36 +0100
+Subject: examples: compile with `make check' and add AM_CPPFLAGS
+
+Compile examples via `make check' like libnftnl does. Use AM_CPPFLAGS to
+specify local headers via -I.
+
+Unfortunately, `make distcheck' did not catch this compile time error in
+my system, since it was using the nftables/libnftables.h file of the
+previous nftables release.
+
+Fixes: 5b364657a35f ("build: missing SUBIRS update")
+Fixes: caf2a6ad2d22 ("examples: add libnftables example program")
+Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
