What do you mean by "use tshark tool idependently only e.g. tshark 
command tool"?

If you just want to use the TShark command-line tool, just use it - you 
don't have to recompile anything.

If you want to build TShark from source without building Wireshark, you 
do that by passing the configure script the command-line flag 
"--disable-wireshark".

In neither case do you need a TShark library.  As I said, TShark, like 
Wireshark, uses libwireshark to do packet dissection; libwireshark 
doesn't include tshark.c and doesn't include any of the Wireshark code 
in gtk - it's not a "Wireshark library" that includes any of the GUI 
code, it's more of a "*shark library", including code common to 
Wireshark and TShark.
