Aircrack compilation errors

[Jethryn Freyman]

Tried to compile the latest version of aircrack-ng today (1.00 rc2.)

There seems to be a few errors in the aircrack-ng.h file that prevent me from compiling it.

Lines 230-232 of aircrack-ng.h are below:

pthread_cond_t cond;			/* condition for waiting when buffer is full until keys are tried and new keys can be written */
	pthread_mutex_t mutex;
};

Does anybody know how I should go about fixing this?

I am using the software for legitimate, legal purposes, in case you were wondering.

any specific reason you don't install it from macports instead?

Thanks for the answer, but Macports has only got the old version, which compiles fine for me.

Same problem installing on another Mac.

Does anybody have any experience fixing this error? It looks to be caused by a piece of incorrect code in the source.

Jethryn - I had the very same problem, and managed to get it to compile by adding #include <pthread.h> to aircrack-ng.h

So, the first lines of aircrack-ng.h should look like:

#ifndef _AIRCRACK_NG_H
#define _AIRCRACK_NG_H

#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include "aircrack-ptw-lib.h"

BTW - this is my very first post on macrumors - hope it helps

Cheers

Aside from proof of concept is there any utility to having aircrack on an iphone/ipod? Without something like airodump or aireplay the iphone/ipod is pretty much a crippled solution for WEP analysis purposes. After all if you are collecting packets on another computer, that same computer can probably execute aircrack-ng 4-5x faster than an iphone.

You're absolutely right, of course.

It's actually when compiling the latest version of aircrack-ng for Leopard that I ran into the odd problem that Jethryn described.

It helped a lot - it compiles perfectly now.

Thank you!
