Kismet build error

I get this error as well, building on OS 10.8.2. I believe it is a configuration problem. The macro 'HAVE_SOCKLEN_T' is not being defined, even though the functions in /usr/include/sys/socket.h require a socklen_t.

The file config.h does has a commented-out line:

/* #undef HAVE_SOCKLEN_T */

This would be correct, but HAVE_SOCKLEN_T never seems to have been defined.

A workaround is to wait for the build to fail, then edit /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_net_kismet/kismet/work/kismet-2011-01-R1/config.h and add

#define HAVE_SOCKLEN_T 1

Now try to install kismet again and it should complete.

Great, Kismet is installing now.

Thanks quantum7.

It looks like the missing definition is a side effect in the same test:

clang: error: argument unused during compilation: '-rdynamic'

Fixed in r98802.
