aircrack does not compile on Arch-Linux about aircrack-ng HOT 11 CLOSED

Comment by misterx on 30 Dec 2006 11:11 UTC

Could you try the following (taken from the forum and also from the ipw installation manual):

cd /usr/include/linux
rm wireless.h
ln -s ../wireless.h .

I have no idea, may I have an access to a test computer with the same setup as you (not for the hardware, only software) where I can test anything; I didn't succeed installing arch into a vmware, the iso don't want to boot (0.7.2 ftp and full iso, current 0.8 ftp). You can contact me at the address found in AUTHORS file. Thanks

I don't have a second computer to install Arch and give you access....

I read the file and I should use iwlib.h instead of this file (I'll investigate this way).

Can you try adding the following line just before the "linux/wireless.h" include in aireplay-ng.c (and maybe also in airodump-ng.c):

#include <linux/if.h>

Description change: formatting make output

both files need the line...

I'll see if it still compiles with other (old) distro (on debian i think, it works) and if it's the case, i'll add it.

Thanks for testing.
