kismet: install failure on 10.8.5, slightly different from ticket 36486

Description (last modified by mf2k (Frank Schima))
Yes. I know 10.8.5 is outdated, but I have legally purchased software (Adobe CS3) that I am scared will not be compatible with MacOS Sierra. I've read posts claiming that things don't work even after updating Java and reinstalling.
Anyway...
I tried following the suggestions here: ticket:36486
I cleaned the kismet install after the build failed and went to add the definition in the header, but the line "#define HAVE_SOCKLEN_T 1" already appears in the config.h header file.
The files config.h and main.log are attached.
Any help is appreciated.

Summary: | Kismet install failure on 10.8.5, slightly different from ticket 36486 → kismet: install failure on 10.8.5, slightly different from ticket 36486 |
While this is a very old ticket - for a much earlier version of kismet
, with different issues - I figured we might as well repurpose this to track work to expand where this port builds.
With the latest commit, it now builds for 10.11 and later:
[b7fa94563a0ef81f40987c9caaaac8212f03a159/macports-ports]
For 10.10 and earlier, there are failures related to use of NSArray
. Presumably these are newer additions for that component, which weren't present way back:
capture_osx_corewlan_wifi.m:64:38: error: expected '>' @property (retain) NSArray<CWChannel *> *channels; ^ capture_osx_corewlan_wifi.m:64:39: error: expected member name or ';' after declaration specifiers @property (retain) NSArray<CWChannel *> *channels; ~~~~~~~ ^ capture_osx_corewlan_wifi.m:64:1: error: property requires fields to be named @property (retain) NSArray<CWChannel *> *channels; ^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ capture_osx_corewlan_wifi.m:64:39: error: expected ';' at end of declaration list @property (retain) NSArray<CWChannel *> *channels; ^ ;
The port has been updated to require Cxx17, so I don't think (?) that's the issue. But still digging.
If anyone has any thoughts, let me know.

After more digging, support for generics on interfaces like NSArray
, etc, was added starting with Xcode 7. However, various projects have added the extra sauce, often piecemeal.
However, Microsoft's WinObjC project has done so across-the-board. And since their work is published via a relatively permissive MIT license, the additions could potentially be packaged up into a port/lib:
https://github.com/microsoft/WinObjC/commit/390d14661261562eb34ecf11543f0b7be0757318
That's probably overkill for kismet
, but something we could consider for the future. (If there's a need for it.)
