Fix for OSX (little/big endian conversion functions)

[Alejandro Leiva <gloob@…>]

Hi,

I made a patch for clean compiling on OSX (tested on 10.6 but probably will work in any 10.x version). Now use the current api for little/big endian conversion functions. Now only need to add a macro to common.mak for detect apple architecture and add -arch i386 (maybe adding this flag in general conf would work in all archs)

[Alejandro Leiva <gloob@…>]

in all i386 architectures i mean :)

Is there a way to get the version of OSX or the API (via a define)?

[http]://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/cross_development/Using/using.html

using Availability.h (>10.6) or AvailabilityMacros?.h (>10.2)

other way should be using the sysctl API (third method in the document) [http]://cocoadevcentral.com/articles/000067.php

Also I check that we can use LITTLE_ENDIAN and BIG_ENDIAN to define LITTLE_ENDIAN and BIG_ENDIAN at byteorder.h

Another way is to use CMake to build the software it provide a bunch of useful defines and macros automatically. Reviewing the makefiles I think should not be difficult.

Make sure that we compile aircrack-ng as 32bit on Darwin

Replying to Alejandro Leiva <gloob@…>:

Now only need to add a macro to common.mak for detect apple architecture and add -arch i386 (maybe adding this flag in general conf would work in all archs)

I have attached a file to do that, I now have aircrack-ng successfully compiling on Snow Leopard.

patch to fix compilation on x86_64

Forcing the build to be 32-bit is the wrong solution; it doesn't really address the problem. A little bit of searching turned up  hxxp://www.mail-archive.com/fink-commits@lists.sourceforge.net/msg81390.html, which I modified slightly and attached to this bug; it should be used instead of force-32bit-on-darwin.diff.

What does %rip do?

Fixed in r1657.

Don't worry about defining macros to common.mak if this is easier. Just compile with the command

$ make CC="gcc -arch i386"

and all occurrences of gcc will be replaced accordingly when compiling on a Mac
