Issue with make

[liorzemah]

I do the commands as specified, I git clone, mkdir cd etc, cmake works fine, but then i fail to make.

lior@lior-Lenovo-G570:~/Documents/liblibwireshark/build$ make

Easiest fix would be creating a private.cmake file in the project's root directory and add following lines to it:

set(Wireshark_DIR "/my/path/to/wireshark")
include_directories(SYSTEM "/my/path/to/wireshark")
link_directories("/my/path/to/wireshark/build/run")

Add more include_directories for other things it might complain about. This is necessary, because Wireshark doesn't install internal headers, which this project depends on.

Since I created this project, I learnt about pluginIF, which is an official interface for using Wireshark. You might want to check it out.

[liorzemah]

those paths, are they to wireshark themselves or this lib? I have installed wireshark via apt install wireshark, how will I work with this?

[a3f]

You'll need to download the Wireshark source code and point to it.

[a3f]

Preferably, our own fork to avoid running into problems: https://github.com/epl-viz/wireshark

[liorzemah]

Alright, i've cloned your fork of wireshark, so I need to first create a "build" file and then cmake the wireshark folder, and only then point towards that folder from the liblibwireshark folder in the private.cmake file? I say this because I don't see any build folder in the wireshark source code

[a3f]

Wireshark's core functionality is split into a number of libraries: libwireshark, libwsutil, libwscodecs and so on. These are installed system-wide, but your system wireshark doesn't install headers for them and the headers in the repository might be of an incompatible version, so you need to compile Wireshark yourself.

You can do so with CMake or with Autotools. With CMake it would look like this:

cd epl-viz-wireshark
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

[liorzemah]

I've done what you said with your fork, and I've tried to cmake it but it will tell me the following:

You'll have to install Wireshark's required dependencies.
I think all of them should be listed when running in apt-rdepends wireshark.
You can also check out the Wireshark documentation for more details.

[liorzemah]

I've just installed apt-rdepends wireshark and I still have the same error occurred while cmake

[a3f]

apt-rdepends doesn't install anything. It lists what's required for the package. Install the development version of those packages.

[liorzemah]

alright cool, it lists all the dependencies, however, is there a way I can install a lot of them at once? I'd rather not go installing them one by one.

[a3f]

I am not a Debian user, but googling brought me to https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1681006&p=10424779#post10424779

sudo apt-get build-dep wireshark

[liorzemah]

Alright cool, do you know how should i use this command?

it's give the next error:
Reading package lists... Done E: You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list

[a3f]

Google it? ;)

[liorzemah]

I try to make but i get this error:

[a3f]

You have built Wireshark already, right? If so: @mensinda It looks like CMake links against system Wireshark instead of the Wireshark specified in the private.cmake. Could you please take a look?

@liorzemah Till then, you could just do a system-wide install of the Wireshark you already built with make install. This should fix the link errors. (I guess your installed version of Wireshark isn't 2.4.0)
