The error message you're encountering during the installation of Kismet via Homebrew appears to be a compilation error related to C++ code. The key part of the error message is:
error: no template named 'binary_function' in namespace 'std'; did you mean '__binary_function'?This error is indicative of an incompatibility or outdated usage in the Kismet source code with respect to the C++ standard library. Here's what you can consider to resolve this issue:
-
C++ Standard Library Changes: The
std::binary_functionwas deprecated in C++11 and removed in C++17. If the codebase of Kismet is using this, it's likely not updated to comply with C++17 standards. The compilation error suggests that your compiler is enforcing C++17 standards (or later), wherestd::binary_functionis no longer available. -
Compiler Version and Flags: Check the version of the compiler (clang++ in this case) and the C++ standard it's using. You might need to specify a different C++ standard (like C++11) that supports
std::binary_function. However, this might not be a straightforward solution as other parts of the code might require C++17 features. -
Kismet Version: Ensure you are installing the latest version of Kismet. If you are, it might be worth checking if there's an open issue on the Kismet GitHub repository regarding this error. If not, you can open a new issue to bring it to the developers' attention.
-
Alternative Installation Method: If Homebrew is not working, consider other installation methods, such as building from source with appropriate modifications to the code or using a pre-compiled binary if available.
-
Dependencies: Make sure all required dependencies for Kismet are installed and up to date on your system. Sometimes, missing or outdated dependencies can cause compilation errors.
-
Community and Documentation: Check Kismet's official documentation or forums for any known issues with installation on your specific version of macOS. Other users might have encountered and resolved similar problems.
-
Downgrade Compiler or Use an Older Version: As a last resort, you might try using an older version of the compiler that supports
std::binary_functionor try installing an older version of Kismet that's compatible with your current compiler setup.
It's worth noting that directly modifying the source code to fix this error requires a good understanding of C++ and the Kismet codebase. If you're not comfortable with this, seeking help from the community or waiting for an official fix from the Kismet developers might be the best course of action.
