I am trying to build the ASN.1 dissectors on Linux but cannot actually make them compile.
git clone
https://github.com/wireshark/wireshark.git wireshark-2.6.1
# Introduce errors to show files are not being compiled
sed -i 's/void/ERROR/' wireshark-2.6.1/epan/dissectors/asn1/*/*.c
# Following build instructions from
#
https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSrcBuildFirstTime.html#_building_on_unix
mkdir wireshark-ninja
cd wireshark-ninja/
cmake -G Ninja ../wireshark-2.6.1/
# Build files written
ninja
# Build succeeds – I expected it to break
Edit wireshark-2.6.1/epan/dissectors/CMakeLists.txt
Change
add_subdirectory(asn1 EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL)
to
add_subdirectory(asn1)
And repeat the build steps above, and still the asn1 .c files are not compiled
cmake -G Ninja ../wireshark-2.6.1/
# Build files written
ninja
# Build succeeds – I expected it to break
What am I missing? How do I
