hi All,

i have been following the thread as it was impossible for me to install Wireshark from the sources in Sierra -the previous El Capitan installation worked nicely-.

i have tried the steps described in README.macos, afterwards i have installed the ‘required' ports but my install hangs because of an error on ‘uic-qt5’. finally i did configure successfully disabling qt, but wireshark-gtk stops because of a missed image file.

after a week and several compilations on OS X Sierra, i can asses wireshark-gtk execution hangs on this error:

(process:90095): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: gsignal.c:2475: signal `realize' is invalid for instance `0x7fc36b00f060' of type `(null)'
**
ERROR:gui_utils.c:2076:GdkPixbuf *ws_gdk_pixbuf_new_from_resource(const char *): assertion failed (err == NULL): El recurso en «/org/wireshark/image/wssplash_dev.png» no existe ((null), 0)
Abort trap: 6

you can build and run using Qt from qt.io -impossible for me using MacPorts-.

regards.

i please ask for any guidance on my journey. sorry if my problem is a trivial one.

thanks, regards.

pd.- i can post the specific errors if required.

Completely blowing away the build directory and starting again seems
to have fixed it. That was really weird, especially since (to my
knowledge) I don't even have a source build of libpcap on this
machine.

Anywho, thanks everyone for the help!


CMake standard repair #1 :-)
