Aiccu Mac OS 10.6.1 setup
Shadow Hawkins on Tuesday, 27 October 2009 08:40:37
I might be a complete idiot, but I've gotten nowhere in my attempts to install aiccu on my Mac. I've looked through all the guides to no avail. I know this has probably been asked 1,000 times, but is there an easy to follow step-by-step guide out there? Please help.
Aiccu Mac OS 10.6.1 setup

Hi,
I have been googling allot to fix the same problem
this is what you do:
maybe someone of the sixxs staff can put this in wiki?
Download and install
http://tuntaposx.sourceforge.net/
pretty easy, is a package
i found a special build (sixxs staff should add this patch to there repo!(ps. 2nd part of patch is wrong/outdated, so DO NOT DO THAT))
the patch: https://fit.nokia.com/lars/software/aiccu.patch
the site i found it: https://fit.nokia.com/lars/appletv-ipv6-router.html
you also can download a build of the patched version from this site..
If you want to be safe for backdores, you want to build it yourself, this is how:
Get XCode free from the macsite:
for the not programmers under us:
download the aiccu tar.gz from this site:
https://www.sixxs.net/tools/aiccu/
the source:
https://www.sixxs.net/archive/sixxs/aiccu/unix/aiccu_current.tar.gz
just unpack it by double clicking on the file
go to the folder: aiccu
go to the folder common
open the file: aiccu_darwin.c
go to line 32
under: /* Bring the interface up */
remove: aiccu_exec(
"ifconfig %s up",
g_aiccu->ipv6_interface);
Add:char tun[256] = "/dev/";
open(strcat(tun, g_aiccu->ipv6_interface), O_RDONLY);
save and close the file.
open a terminal (applications/some directory i don't know the name in english/Terminal.app) or (via spotlight)
go to the map (DONT TYPE THE #):
# cd Downloads/aiccu
then compile it:
# make
you will get some warnings, they can be ignored..
now in the map unix-console there will be the aiccu binary.
copy this binary to a place you need it like /usr/sbin/
then you can run the aiccu from everywhere you want
------
Config:
MAKE SHURE YOU CHANGE IPV6_INTERFACE TO tun0 ; that's tun zero!!!
edit the outher info from the example config found on the site.
you can start from terminal
# sudo aiccu start aiccu.conf
from the directory where the config is, probably your homedir (that's the dir where your terminal opens in)
your tunnel is working ^^
been 2 hours for me to find out..
in our language there is an saying: (de aanhouder wint!)
dno if there is a decent translation ;)
i hope this works for you.. it did for me ;)
PS: you will need to restart you aiccu everytime you reboot your mac.
if you just go to sleep, there is no problem, it will reconnect on wake-up.
