Error when I tried to install ubertooth

[nabiladn]

Excuse me. I want to ask something related with installing ubertooth. I followed all the tutorial from this link (https://wiki.elvis.science/index.php?title=Bluetooth_Sniffing_with_Ubertooth:_A_Step-by-step_guide). It was all working until the ubertooth tools installation step. I was expecting that the result is done 100%, but it said that there is something wrong with my library ubertooth.

I'm using Kali Linux 2019.4 in VirtualBox, and the hardware im using is ubertooth one. For the rest, I'm just following what's in the tutorial given.

Thank you so much!

I had this same error. The problem is the "multiple definition of `packet_counter_max';" part.

Refer to this change in order to fix it.

In short, go to file host/libubertooth/src/ubertooth_callback.c and change unsigned int packet_counter_max; to extern unsigned int packet_counter_max;

Then compile and run it again.
