This is a test packaging of Nmap and Zenmap for Mac OS X. It is meant to
work on both Intel and PowerPC Macs running Mac OS X 10.4 or later.
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.
The nmap command-line binary will be installed in /usr/local/bin, and
additional support files will be installed in /usr/local/libexec and
/usr/local/share.
Zenmap is installed as an application bundle in
/Applications/Zenmap.app.
Known issues:
Zenmap doesn't run as root. Work to allow this is underway. A workaround
is to peek inside the application bundle:
sudo /Applications/Zenmap.app/Contents/MacOS/zenmap
Changes in the test package:
zenmap-4.60-test1 (April 8, 2008)
Initial release. Distributed as a disk image containing the
Zenmap application bundle only.
nmap-4.60-test2 (April 30, 2008)
Now a metapackage that installs both Nmap and Zenmap. Built
against MacPorts 1.7.0, targeting Mac OS X 10.4 with the 10.4u
SDK. Zenmap looks for nmap in /usr/local/bin by default. More
careful escaping of configuration files allows running from a
directory with spaces in the name.
nmap-4.60-test3 (May 2, 2008)
Fixes a syntax error with Python 2.3. This version is linked
against a version of GLib that is patched to work on PowerPC.
nmap-4.62-test4 (May 3, 2008)
This release is built with upstream py2app, not the version that
Apple distributes. The Apple version is build to run only on Mac
OS X 10.5.
nmap-4.62-test5 (May 8, 2008)
This release is built against the X11 libraries from the 10.4u
SDK.
nmap-4.62-test6 (May 9, 2008)
This release fixes two libraries that were being built against
the 10.5 SDK: OpenSSL and Cairo.
nmap-4.62-test7 (May 10, 2008)
This release attempts to automatically launch X11 if it's not
already running.
