That's strange:

:info:build In file included from memory.c:63:
:info:build ./common.h:86:15: error: unknown type name 'time_t'; did you mean 'size_t'?
:info:build void calctime(time_t t, float calc);
:info:build               ^~~~~~
:info:build               size_t

time_t is defined in time.h, which is #included in common.h.

The port builds for me on Sierra. I haven't tested on High Sierra yet.

Builds fine for me:

$ port -v installed aircrack-ng
The following ports are currently installed:
  aircrack-ng @1.2-rc4_0 (active) platform='darwin 17' archs='x86_64' date='2018-03-11T09:08:45-0600'

maybe is an issue related to High Sierra? I can't figure it out why I come across this error...

Replying to Stefanofr84:

Obviously not, since Frank showed it built fine for him on High Sierra.

I did notice from your log that you don't appear to have Xcode installed; you only have the Xcode command line tools. Many ports can be built with only the command line tools, but maybe aircrack-ng is one of those that can't. Could you try installing Xcode 9.2 (and open it and agree to the license, and use xcode-select to select it), then sudo port clean aircrack-ng and try again?

Hi Ryan,

thanks for your reply. I have checked and Xcode appears to be installed:

xcodebuild -version
Xcode 9.2
Build version 9C40b

I have also accepted the licence (sudo xcodebuild -license accept). Checking the log, I still see

:warn:main Xcode does not appear to be installed

I really do not understand why it still appear not to be installed...

Still, I have the same problem

What's the output of:

xcode-select -p

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Do you see the same problem with aircrack-ng @1.2-rc5? (Run sudo port selfupdate to get it.)

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Closing, since there was no reply to my question, and aircrack-ng @1.3 builds fine for us on OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion and later.
