Wireshark · Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] Build problems with Sun's compiler on Solaris 10

["Dr. David Kirkby" <david.kirkby@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I've trying to build wireshark-0.99.7  on a Sun Blade 2000 workstation 
running Solaris 10 update 4 using Sun's studio 11 compiler suite.

Here are some notes. #6 is a show-stopper, as it is stopping me building 
wireshark - the others are minor points I believe which need fixing, but 
are quite easy to fix.

1) Unlike the case with trying to build with gcc (see my post of half an 
hour ago on wireshark-users), the Sun compiler seems to pick up gtk 
properly.

checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.0.0... yes (version 2.4.9)
checking for pkg-config... (cached) /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking for GLIB - version >= 2.0.0... yes (version 2.4.1)
checking whether GLib supports loadable modules... yes

This is good of course, but I was not so fortunate with gcc. (Looking at 
the reply to that post Jeff Morriss has suggested a fix, which I have 
not yet tried).


2) I just installed libpcap from the file libpcap-0.9.8.tar.gz, but the 
wireshark configure script complains that the pcap library is more 
recent than the pcap header.

checking whether pcap_breakloop is present and usable... broken
configure: WARNING: Your pcap library is more recent than your pcap header.
configure: WARNING: Wireshark won't be able to use functions not declared
configure: WARNING: in that header. You should install a newer version of
configure: WARNING: the header file.
checking whether pcap_findalldevs is present and usable... yes
checking for pcap_datalink_val_to_name... yes

I've no idea why this should be so.

3) If I ignore that warning about the pcap then the rest of the program 
configures OK

The Wireshark package has been configured with the following options.
                  Build wireshark : yes
                     Build tshark : yes
                   Build capinfos : yes
                    Build editcap : yes
                    Build dumpcap : yes
                   Build mergecap : yes
                  Build text2pcap : yes
                    Build idl2wrs : yes
                    Build randpkt : yes
                     Build dftest : yes

                   Install setuid : no
                      Use plugins : yes
                 Build lua plugin : no
                 Build rtp_player : no
              Use GTK+ v2 library : yes
                      Use threads : no
           Build profile binaries : no
                 Use pcap library : yes
                 Use zlib library : yes
                 Use pcre library : no
             Use kerberos library : no
             Use GNU ADNS library : no
              Use SMI MIB library : no
           Use GNU crypto library : no
           Use SSL crypto library : no
         Use IPv6 name resolution : no
               Use gnutls library : yes
               Use libcap library : no



4) There is an an error compiling
plugins/ethercat/packet-ethercat-frame.c
and
plugins/ethercat/packet-ethercat-frame.h

but I found this bug had been reported before
http://www.mail-archive.com/wireshark-bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg06382.html
and the patch here
http://www.mail-archive.com/wireshark-bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg06391.html

solved that one.

5) There are a large number of errors when trying to compile 
plugins/ethercat/packet-ecatmb.h but these are quite easy to solve. 
Basically, every structure is declared like this

struct
 {
 <some code>
 };

but the sun compiler complains unless a name for the structure is given. 
i.e.

struct
 {
 <some code>
 }ANY_NAME_YOU_WANT;

Hence one can fix this by adding anything for a name. This needs to be 
done on lines 110, 137, 151, 180, 355, 395, 401, 454 and 459 of 
plugins/ethercat/packet-ecatmb.h
(Looking at the patch referenced above, that was one of the issues the 
patch solves, but it needs to be done in another file too).

6) NOW THIS IS THE SERIOUS PROBLEM - it stops me building wireshark and 
I have not yet found a solution.

./configure CC=/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc CXX=/opt/SUNWspro/bin/CC
This configures OK - see above for what is configured.

gmake

After quite a bit of time compiling OK, the compilation process aborts 
with:
