libiw is a linux-specific wireless configuration library.

I have the same problem. What should I do if I do not want to switch to linux computer?

It looks like libiw is only a dependency of ardronelib, and it might be optional. Try building without it?

@fdsa1860 I was not able to install ROS on OSX El-Capitan, so i switched to Linux on VM.
