The README in the zenmap/install_scripts folder refers to a nonexistent macosx folder: ------- Generating Mac OS X App: 1 - Install the required dependencies for Mac OS X (including PIL) 2 - Run install_scripts/macosx/generate_macosx_app.sh Obs: Some path adaptations may be needed in the script above in order to make it work in your system. ------- nmap works fine, but I'd like to have the GUI as well if possible. Help, please? (The unix instructions appear to be wrong, too.)Sorry, those instructions were out of date. Package building for Unix and Windows is now handled by the Nmap makefiles. The scripts ininstall_scripts don't have to do with building packages anymore. I haveupdated install_scripts/README in Subversion. Zenmap on Mac OS X is a work in progress. Seehttp://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2007/q4/0497.html for Fyodor's request fora .app package and http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2007/q4/0490.html for how to override PYTHON to use a Fink or MacPorts Python installation. But you may be better off waiting for a package because Mac OS X is missing many of Zenmap's dependencies.
There is now a nmap 4.50 package available in Fink's unstable tree for 10.4 and 10.5 and zenmap is working fine for me. However, I've had no luck building a standalone version outside of Fink. PyGTK is fiendishly complicated to get working on OS X.
Note that this package is currently build-from-source only. http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/nmap Daniel
