Hi Alexis,

Thanks for replying. I used cmake and it worked. I found out that i had to use cmake from a page on wiki.wireshark.com. I think it might be a good idea to include this information in README.macos file.

Thanks,
Ajay

Hi,

I am trying to compile wireshark from source that I took from github. I have libgcrypt on my system and the configure script was able to find it. However when I actually run make i get this error

  CC       airpdcap.lo

In file included from airpdcap.c:49:

../../wsutil/wsgcrypt.h:36:10: fatal error: 'gcrypt.h' file not found

#include <gcrypt.h>



So i changed the epan/crypt/Makefile


COMPILE = $(CC) $(DEFS) $(DEFAULT_INCLUDES) $(INCLUDES) $(AM_CPPFLAGS) \

$(CPPFLAGS) $(AM_CFLAGS) $(CFLAGS) $(LIBGCRYPT_CFLAGS)

LTCOMPILE = $(LIBTOOL) $(AM_V_lt) --tag=CC $(AM_LIBTOOLFLAGS) \

$(LIBTOOLFLAGS) --mode=compile $(CC) $(DEFS) \

$(DEFAULT_INCLUDES) $(INCLUDES) $(AM_CPPFLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS) \

$(AM_CFLAGS) $(CFLAGS) $(LIBGCRYPT_CFLAGS)



where I added the LIBGCRYPT_CFLAGS to both COMPILE and LTCOMPILE. After making this change I am able to compile. But i am wondering if i am making a mistake in the compile process due to which I have to edit this file manually and the configure script is not generating the makefile correctly


Just as I finished writing this mail, the compile has failed again at


packet-ip.c:63:10: fatal error: 'GeoIP.h' file not found

#include <GeoIP.h>


Can someone please point me in the right direction


Thanks,

Ajay
