This is a test packaging of Zenmap for Mac OS X. We are distributing this in the hope of creating a really great distribution of Nmap and Zenmap on the Mac, and for that we need your help. Please try it out and send comments and suggestions to nmap-dev@insecure.org. This package does not come with Nmap itself. Zenmap and Nmap may be bundled together in the future depending on what users recommend. You need to install Nmap separately. Make sure it is in your system PATH; see below. Please write nmap-dev@insecure.org if you have an idea for a good way to package Nmap and Zenmap together. Known issues: Zenmap doesn't run as root. I haven't found a convenient way to run it as root. You can do it by peeking inside the application bundle: sudo /Volumes/Zenmap-4.60/Zenmap.app/Contents/MacOS/zenmap But there has to be a better way. Please write nmap-dev@insecure.org if you have suggestions. /usr/local/bin is not in the default PATH. As mentioned above, currently you have to install Nmap separately. When Nmap is compiled from source, by default it is installed in /usr/local/bin. But /usr/local/bin is *not* in the default OS X PATH! You will see an error in Zenmap: "[Errno 2] No such file or directory". I don't recommend installing Nmap with a prefix of /usr, but you can make a symbolic link from /usr/bin/nmap to /usr/local/bin/nmap and it will work fine. Running the application from a directory whose name contains a space fails. The wrapper scripts necessary to package GTK+ and Pango need to carefully escape paths in the files they write.
