Hi list

My build breaks in two ways

$ configure
....
The Wireshark package has been configured with the following options:


                       GLib version : v2.48.1


                    Build wireshark : yes (with Qt4 v4.8.7)


                Build wireshark-gtk : yes (with GTK+ v3.20.6)


$ make
....

Is this Qt4 too old?

Then when building the GTK version


$ make wireshark-gtk
  PERL     version.h
version.h unchanged.
make: *** No rule to make target 'ui/gtk/libgtkui.a', needed by 'wireshark-gtk'.
 Stop.


Jumping into ui/gtk, then make gets things going.

Time for bed...
