When trying to compile Wireshark (well, only Tshark) on a quite old platform,
the compile process stops at one point saying that there is no rule to make
target "inet_pton" in the epan/ subdirectory.
The reason is likely to be that inet_pton is not detected in the libitnl and
Wireshark tries to compile it itself from its sources.
Problem: the inet_pton.c file is in the root directory and not in the epan/
dir.
The solution is to perform some little tricky things that I found on a Japanese
(!) website just before typing the make:
(in the wireshark root dir)
./configure [your options]
#trick
gmake inet_pton.o
gmake inet_pton.lo
cd epan
ln -s ../inet_pton.lo
ln -s ../inet_pton.o
mkdir -p .libs
cd .libs/
ln -s ../../.libs/inet_pton.o .
cd ../..
#/trick
make
This is what solved the problem in my case.
