Compiling wpa_supplicant for OS X (10.6, 10.7)

[Felix Sargent]

Thank you Jouni! That explains a lot. I knew I must have been choosing the
wrong driver/library.

I'm getting this error now, which seems a lot more troubling:

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:

      _wpas_notify_state_changed in notify.o
  "_sme_deinit", referenced from:

ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [wpa_supplicant] Error 1

Anything I can do?
