Salutations,
I’ve been making an attempt to cross compile TShark (and dumpcap) for my
PPC 8541 platform, overcoming the slight hurdles that keep presenting
themselves (missing libraries, etc.) My first tries were using the old stable
version (1.0.9), whereupon I ran into a problem regarding the rdps binary
(cross compiled binary wants to execute on my x86 host machine). This was
detailed here
http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev/200905/msg00346.html
In another post, somebody mentioned that this problem had
been resolved in the latest version (1.2.2), so I decided to try that. In doing
so, I was able to get most of the way through the compilation process. Here is
the configure options I used in my build.
./configure --prefix=/opt/powerpc-85xx-linux/
--host=powerpc-linux --disable-wireshark --disable-editcap --disable-capinfos
--disable-mergecap --disable-text2pcap --disable-idl2wrs --disable-dftest
--disable-randpkt --disable-rawshark
After allowing the compilation process some time to churn, a
similar problem occurred, this time with the lemon executable. Here is the
error I get.
Making all in dfilter
make[3]: Entering directory
`/home/cthomas/Desktop/project/wireshark-1.2.2/epan/dfilter'
../../tools/lemon/lemon t=./../../tools/lemon/lempar.c
./grammar.lemon || \
(rm -f grammar.c
grammar.h ; false)
/bin/sh: ../../tools/lemon/lemon: cannot execute binary file
make[3]: *** [grammar.c] Error 1
What I’m wondering is, can I disable lemon’s
execution during the build process and be safe? Do I need lemon to be on my
target platform for TShark to operate correctly? Or is this just an artifact of
the build process, and I need to change the CC used to build the tool?
Thanks,
Clinton Thomas
