Wireless Tools is the reference implementation of tools supporting the ability to manipulate the Wireless Extensions API supported by most wireless LAN networking drivers.
8.7.1. 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:

Note
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
