Hi,

FYI: newer versions of the sourcecode have improved Debian packaging support. I'm not sure from which point on (1.0.8 I guess), you can do 'make debian-package' to start the package build.

Thanx,
Jaap

Aarrrhhh, I wish I'd read my prior post through one more time. Sorry.

Building wireshark *with* SMI made it work. I therefore suggest that there is a bug in SNMP preferences:

, that currently say: "MIB settings can be changed in the Name Resolution preferences". If not built with SMI, I suggest that message should be: "MIB settings are not possible, because Wireshark was not built with SMI support"

The rest is ubuntu/debian specific:

For future reference: To build a local version of wireshark *with* SMI support on ubuntu intrepid, I did the following:

$ sudo apt-get install libsmi2-common libsmi2-dev libsmi2ldbl
$ sudo apt-get build-dep wireshark
$ mkdir wireshark
$ cd wireshark
$ apt-get source wireshark
$ cd wireshark-1.0.3

At this point, i had to bump the version of the package. Otherwise ubuntu would insist on upgrading my newly built package.

So I patched debian/changelog with (proper patch as attachement):
