libcap not configurable about wavemon HOT 4 CLOSED

I don't understand, this seems to be more related to how OpenWrt builds.
The flag is not offered because libcap is required to build wavemon. If you try without, it will produce an error like

>gcc -O2 -Wall -pthread -I/usr/include/libnl3     wavemon.c about_scr.o conf.o conf_scr.o error.o help_scr.o info_scr.o iw_if.o iw_nl80211.o iw_scan.o lhist_scr.o llist.o scan_scr.o ui.o utils.o  -lcap -lncurses -lm  -lnl-genl-3 -lnl-3  -lnl-3  -o wavemon
error.o: In function `has_net_admin_capability':
error.c:(.text+0x146): undefined reference to `cap_get_proc'
error.c:(.text+0x15d): undefined reference to `cap_get_flag'
error.c:(.text+0x177): undefined reference to `cap_free'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

And it seems OpenWrt has a libcap package.

Without more detail, I can not see the point of doing this.

That's guarded by HAVE_LIBCAP. It is not defined if not found.

Thank you, as per above commit I have added support for configure --without-libcap.
If you are able to build from master, I'd appreciate testing; otherwise I will just close the ticket.
