configure: error: wifi support requested but no wifi backend could not be found

If you look at the 4th line from the bottom it says you don't have the avahi-client library installed. It's required as a wifi backend. On Debian you can install it with sudo apt install libavahi-client-dev.

[spidy0x0]

thanks that fixed it. but there's another issue when i run make

[jordus100]

You need to compile with CLANG and not gcc. Also you need to have the correct version of dependencies, one of which is the newest version of the plist library.

What else do you have in addition to installing the avahi-client?

Im currently stuck at

failed to spawnWIFIDeviceManager with error=2752547 (Failed to start avahi_client with error=-26. Is the daemon running?)

[rbtgit]

You need to install avahi-daemon:
apt install avahi-daemon

[Blackspell01]

yes it worked, thanks.
