[Request] Kismet

invis!ble · 2008-06-11 15:01:28

Hello to everybody,

could everyone make a actual package for the newest Kismet version?
"Thu May 29 2008 - Kismet-2008-05-R1"

http://kismetwireless.net/

There is a kismet pkg in the testing and extra repo but each of them
are out of date.

thx

What about using abs?

invis!ble · 2008-06-11 17:46:36

There isn't any newer version?

(I want to have a actual kismet version managed by the distro, so i'd like to have it via pacman)

greetings

If you build a newer version by using ABS and modifying the PKGBUILD etc.. it will be managed via pacman

ABS wiki

Hmm i'd tryed the "traditional mode" but pacman doesnt know anythink about this installation?

Show me ... [Matrix]
How exactly did you do it?

invis!ble · 2008-06-11 18:24:44

I'am German .. so i do exactly the instruction of http://wiki.archlinux.de/?title=Abs

invis!ble · 2008-06-12 14:00:05

Here the new PKGBUILD based on the abs Version:

So I'm kind of new to using ABS, but I tried to do this, and it didn't work...

I copied the PKGBUILD into the ABS tree (probably an unnecessary step), then copied it into ~/abs, then ran makepkg -c, which spits out a lot of errors about deprecated string conversion and ignored typedefs, especially in gpsmap.cc, before giving "make: *** [gpsmap.o] Error 1" and aborting. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

anrxc · 2008-07-30 19:52:24

Disable gpsmap for i686 also (if you don't need it). I built it recently, also had problems and didn't inspect why it fails.

chimerical_brio · 2008-07-30 23:18:59

So uh...how would I do that?

chimerical_brio · 2008-07-31 13:34:22

Well, it sounds like when running the configure script, I'd need to use the option --disable-gps, but it also sounds like there's no mechanism in makepkg for doing this. Can pacman manage compiled software?

Stefan Husmann · 2008-07-31 14:37:10

What exactly you should put into the configure line of the PKGBUILD should be said into some README or INSTALL file in the source tarball. Or use ./configure --help.

chimerical_brio · 2008-07-31 14:57:30

What I need is --disable-gps. Do I just add this on the configure line of the PKGBUILD? That didn't seem to work when I tried it.

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var

is what I have,

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --disable-gps

is all I can think of, and it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?

Stefan Husmann · 2008-07-31 15:05:09

I cannot guess. Please post the error messages.

chimerical_brio · 2008-07-31 15:15:40

There are a LOT of typedefs ignored, not just in gpsmap, and it seems like --disable-gps isn't being recognized because it's being compiled. Maybe I'll just wait until kismet's put into the repositories.

Untested, I have no WLAN.

chimerical_brio · 2008-07-31 22:49:32

Wonderful! It seems to work like a charm. When there's a new release put in the repositories, will pacman be able to upgrade it? Thanks so much!

Stefan Husmann · 2008-08-01 08:03:35

Pacman will be able to update it, but you should keep having an eye on it that he actually does.

invis!ble · 2008-10-05 13:22:02

But how can i get it with gpsmap?
There are the same errors like these wich chimerical_brio gets..

It compiles for me.
