Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Help to build Wireshark

Date: Tue, 22 May 2007 16:02:23 +0200 (CEST)
Hello everybody,

I downlaod wireshark " source code from the svn repository " and also the
wireshark " gzip source code ".

I install all the tool need to build wireshark ( saw in the
http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/PartEnvironment.html )

I install the librairie need ( not all the optional ).

I build wireshark as it is sayed in the documentation. I a first time i
execute "./autogen.sh" and after "./configuration" (without option because i
don't know what option i need to wrote)

At this times, in the end of the configuration execution (after a very long
line wrote in the shell, to check what i have). I can read this :

The Wireshark package has been configured with the following options.
                    Build wireshark : no
                       Build tshark : yes
                     Build capinfos : yes
                      Build editcap : yes
                      Build dumpcap : yes
                     Build mergecap : yes
                    Build text2pcap : yes
                      Build idl2wrs : yes
                      Build randpkt : yes
                       Build dftest : yes

                     Install setuid : no
                        Use plugins : yes
                   Build lua plugin : no
                   Build rtp_player : no
                Use GTK+ v2 library : yes
                        Use threads : no
             Build profile binaries : no
                   Use pcap library : yes
                   Use zlib library : no
                   Use pcre library : no
               Use kerberos library : no
               Use GNU ADNS library : no
             Use GNU crypto library : no
             Use SSL crypto library : no
           Use IPv6 name resolution : yes
               Use Net-SNMP library : no
                 Use gnutls library : no

 I don't understand why it don't want to build wireshark or what kind of
option i need to write in order to build wireshark. It is doing the same
things with the two version of the source code ( the svn and the gzip
version).
The other things it's, when i execute "make" after do (./autogen.sh and
./configure) a very amazing number of page of warning was wroted. It's so
long, that i never let the make finish.

I'm using a Ubuntu 6.10 version.

I really need help, if someone know what appening. I wrote all the wireshark
documentation, and the faq, i don't found someting to help me.

thanks you.
