I am trying to install the latest Wpa_Supplicant on Ubuntu 16.04 server from the official website. According to http://deployingradius.com/scripts/eapol_test/ I uncommented CONFIG_EAPOL_TEST=yes and run make eapol_test but I get failed:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lnl
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:1613: recipe for target 'eapol_test' failed
make: *** [eapol_test] Error 1
However, when I did the same but using Ubuntu 14.04 server, everything is ok!
I realized that the package libnl-devresolves the problem of **/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lnl** for ubuntu14.04. However, the Ubuntu 16.04 does not have libnl-dev in his repository, instead of It has libnl-3-dev, but wpa_supplicant failed when I run make eapol_test.
Could anyone help me install wpa_supplicant on ubuntu 16.04 plz?, I am trying run everything on ubuntu 16.04 and not on ubuntu 14.04.
Thank you in advance, Javier
You might try the following:
libnl-genl-3-devin the .config file uncomment the following (2nd) line:
# Use libnl 3.2 libraries (if this is selected, CONFIG_LIBNL20 is ignored)
CONFIG_LIBNL32=y
I could then link the target correctly, because it then used "-lnl-3" instead of "-lnl"
