Statically linked Wi-Fi tools for Linux/Android

This repository contains scripts for building statically linked iw and wpa_supplicant tools for Linux, which probably work on any Linux/Android distribution/version.

Tested build environments:

• Alpine Linux edge armhf (running on Android under Linux Deploy)
• Alpine Linux edge aarch64 (running on Android under Linux Deploy)

How to build

Install requirements (Alpine Linux edge)

apk add build-base bison flex gawk linux-headers pkgconf readline-static perl

Build

iw

make iw

wpa_supplicant

wpa_supplicant_build_config file contains minimal wpa_supplicant build configuration with built-in cryptographic engine (does not depend on OpenSSL). Edit this file according to your needs, then run:
make wpa_supplicant
Note: if you want to use OpenSSL, firstly build it with make openssl then add to the wpa_supplicant config following (change the path to prefix directory):

CFLAGS += -I/the/absolute/path/to/the/prefix/include
LIBS += -lcrypto -lssl

iw and wpa_supplicant both (excluding openssl)

make

Once built, the executables will be located in the binaries/ folder
