Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 The Makefile (in aircrack-ng's scripts directory) is deliberately
 programmed to only install aircrack-ng on Linux.

 On FreeBSD, it instead installs a file that prints this message:

 {{{
 On $(uname), it is not necessary to use airmon-ng to enable the monitor
 mode of your wireless card. Instead, you need to specify this mode when
 creating your wlan device. For example:

         ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0 wlanmode monitor
 }}}

 On other operating systems like OS X it does not install anything for
 airmon-ng.

 Do you actually need airmon-ng on OS X? What problem are you encountering?
 Do following the FreeBSD instructions shown above help on OS X?
