Requires autoconf to prepare, PKGBUILD: line 37: autoreconf: command not found if autoconf is not installed.
Requires automake to prepare, Can't exec "aclocal": No such file or directory at /usr/share/autoconf/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm line 299. if automake is not installed
Requires python-setuptools makedepend to build in clean chroot
Missing dependency: libbsd
Please add pentium4 architecture to PKGBUILD for better Arch Linux 32 support. I confirmed build on my pentium4 laptop.
This package started failing for me recently. It appears to be an issue when building with GCC 10. See https://github.com/aircrack-ng/aircrack-ng/issues/2138 https://bugs.gentoo.org/708378
It can be resolved by passing -fcommon to gcc. I just updated the configure line to ./configure CC='gcc -fcommon' --with-experimental --with-ext-scripts --prefix=/usr --sbindir=/usr/bin --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
Miegl: Thanks for the update! I'm not sure if moving python to depends is better. Generally I think staying as close as possible to the official package is better. Of course you are free to suggest improvements to our official packages by filing feature requests on our bug tracker. And if you disagree with the official maintainer you are free to deviate from the official package. I see this general principle as a guideline, no more. Cheers.
vesath: Oops, I checked the package sanity with namcap (which said these dependencies are unnecessary) and thought they are no longer needed without actually testing the whole package. Won't happen again, hopefully.
Also does keeping the PKGBUILD as close as possible to the official package mean I should move python from the optdepends array to depends? Or perhaps this PKGBUILD should be a copy of the official one and I should be discussing potential improvements with the official maintainer? Thanks.
You've removed net-tools, iw and ethtool from the depends array in commit b0afdd5dcd0a; could you explain why? They are required by the airmon-ng script.
On a more general note, this PKGBUILD should be kept as close as possible to our official aircrack-ng package to avoid surprises. Thanks for your understanding.
ipha: sorry, latest PKGBUILD should work fine.
