# Wireless Tools-&wireless_tools-version;

Wireless Tools is the reference implementation of tools supporting the ability to manipulate the Wireless Extensions API supported by most wireless LAN networking drivers.

## Installation of Wireless Tools

Wireless Tools' `Makefile` contains explicitly which `gcc`, `ar`, and `ranlib` to use. Make sure the `${CLFS}/cross-tools` versions of these programs are used instead of the host's:

    sed -i s/gcc/\$\{CLFS\_TARGET\}\-gcc/g Makefile
    sed -i s/\ ar/\ \$\{CLFS\_TARGET\}\-ar/g Makefile
    sed -i s/ranlib/\$\{CLFS\_TARGET\}\-ranlib/g Makefile

Compile the package:

There are options that can be passed to `make` and `make install` that will reduce the size and functionality of the Wireless Tools. See the Wireless Tools `INSTALL` file for more information.

    make PREFIX=${CLFS}/targetfs/usr

Install the package:

    make install PREFIX=${CLFS}/targetfs/usr
