Compiling aircrack-NG 1.0 on Snow Leopard

[mokum]

harleyb on the kismac-ng forums posted this working change to compile the current AirCrack-NG [version 1.0] on Snow Leopard.

Carbon Copy:

Obviously, you need Xcode installed. However, you don't need gmake or sqlite like aircrack-ng's guide says.
Open Terminal, run:

Code:

svn co http://trac.aircrack-ng.org/svn/trunk/ aircrack-ng

Now, you need to edit common.mak to build for a 32-bit architecture using 10.5 headers, and have it use gcc-4.0 instead of 4.2.

Find this line:

Code:

CC              = $(TOOL_PREFIX)gcc

and replace with:

Code:

CC              = $(TOOL_PREFIX)gcc-4.0

Then find this line:

Code:

CFLAGS          ?= -g -W -Wall -Werror -O3 -Wno-strict-aliasing

and replace with:

Code:

CFLAGS          ?= -g -W -Wall -Werror -O3 -Wno-strict-aliasing -arch i386 -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk

Go back to Terminal and:

Code:

cd aircrack-ng
make
sudo make install

Look at the make install output to find out where stuff got placed; the tools you'll likely use are in /usr/local/bin/

Hope this helps somebody!

And this actually works.
