Were there any errors when running tools/rpm-setup.sh?

Hi,

 

The error is just another missing library:

CMake Error at /usr/local/share/cmake-3.25/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:230 (message):

  Could NOT find PCRE2 (missing: PCRE2_LIBRARY PCRE2_INCLUDE_DIR) (found

  version "")

 

I didn’t want to mention it yet because I haven’t begun my search yet for the lib or sources.  Although, I appreciate your concern and inquisitiveness :)

 

Best regards,

Can you share your error message? Anything like this:

https://ask.wireshark.org/question/29646/cmake-dependency-failed-for-v40-when-trying-to-build-an-rpm-package-from-a-source-tarball/

"but here I'm using CentOS 7.9 after changed the dependencies in CMakeLists."

 

Not sure what the CMakeList changes were.

Hi,

 

Thank you for the link.  I was able to get past the c-ares issue—but unfortunately, another CMake Error awaits my attention.

 

Best regards,

Suggestions for work-arounds:

Hi,

 

I am attempting to compile Wireshark v4.0.2 on a RHEL7 server and am running into problems.  My current issue is that the c-ares library is not installed on the server.  I’ve downloaded the c-ares source code but it seems my compiler is too old to be able to compile c-ares.

 

My questions are as follows: Is the “c-ares” library *required* for the proper compilation of Wireshark?  Are there any alternatives to using c-ares that I may be able to try?

 

If c-ares is required, then I will try to install a newer version of the compiler from sources--since our repos do not have anything newer.

 

Thank you and regards,
