Either

	1) install Qt, complete with a developer's package

or

	2) configure using "--with-gtk2" or "--with-gtk3" if you have GTK+ 2.x or GTK+ 3.x installed - again, complete with a developer's package.

(If you don't have a developer's package for GTK+ *or* Qt installed, you can't make a Wireshark executable from the source code, as you don't have any of the GUI toolkits that Wireshark can use.)
