Arch Linux

Moreover, the man pages end up now in wrong directories (i.e., /usr/share/man/man1/man1 instead of /usr/share/man/man1).

This change was for  FS#58567  but not sure how this issue slipped through. I've reverted it and will investigate further before trying to make this change again. Fixed in 1.2-3.

I tested the following and it worked. Sorry for not catching it earlier:

build() {
cd $pkgname-$_pkgver

./autogen.sh

./configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib

make sqlite=true experimental=true
}

package() {
cd $pkgname-$_pkgver

make DESTDIR="$pkgdir" sqlite=true experimental=true \
sbindir=/usr/bin install pkglibexecdir=/usr/lib/aircrack-ng
}

There are also missing some dependencies:

aircrack-ng E: Dependency pcre detected and not included (libraries ['usr/lib/libpcre.so.1'] needed in files ['usr/bin/airodump-ng'])
aircrack-ng E: Dependency libpcap detected and not included (libraries ['usr/lib/libpcap.so.1'] needed in files ['usr/bin/besside-ng-crawler'])

Upstream info:

If you want SSID filtering with regular expression in airodump-ng (-essid-regex) pcre development package is required.
In order to build besside-ng, besside-ng-crawler, easside-ng, tkiptun-ng and wesside-ng, libpcap development package is required

During build it also complains about missing python which is used by some buildscripts: https://github.com/aircrack-ng/aircrack-ng/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=python&type=

Another thing: experimental features shall be enabled with "./configure --with-experimental" not "make sqlite=true experimental=true" which doesn't have any effect (I'm not sure if they should be enabled at all). I prepared the folowing (added 'check' section):

pkgname=aircrack-ng
_pkgver=1.2
pkgver=${_pkgver//-/}
pkgrel=3

source=(https://download.aircrack-ng.org/$pkgname-$_pkgver.tar.gz)
md5sums=('bb11ec14e1fe505d8d0d51cee0c54df9')

build() {
cd $pkgname-$_pkgver

./autogen.sh

./configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib --with-experimental

make
}

check() {
cd $pkgname-$_pkgver

make check
}

package() {
cd $pkgname-$_pkgver

make DESTDIR="$pkgdir" sbindir=/usr/bin install pkglibexecdir=/usr/lib/aircrack-ng
}

Thanks, updated in 1.2-4

Perfect! I think this can be closed now.
