Either I'm missing some libraries (or something) or it's broken, help? I don't really know C++, and vaguely know what memcpy does.

Either I'm missing some libraries (or something) or it's broken, help? I don't really know C++, and vaguely know what memcpy does.

You'll want to learn about includes and imports, as well as learn how to look up methods/constants/categories/etc. in documentation. For example, if you wanted to determine what the problem is in this case, you would look up which standard C headers contain "exit" and "memcpy". In this case, stdlib.h and string.h respectively. Then, you would check your code for those includes (e.g. "#include <stdlib.h>"). If the includes are there, then you can move on to looking at the code itself for formatting errors.

Again, it's important to learn to use documentation.

hope that helps.

just out of interest: did you run config before you ran make?

thanks for the replies:
It was configured before attempting to compile. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Pan.

Just for anyone else whom has trouble compiling airbase or jc-wepcrack..... just compile with an older kernel, backtrack 3 worked like a charm.

just compile with an older kernel, backtrack 3 worked like a charm.

what do you mean by that? which kernel? 2.4? or just an older version of 2.6 ?

Whichever kernel is included with BT3. I'm pretty sure it is an older version of 2.6.
