Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: Re: [ethereal-dev] AIX: gtk problem solved, now an ethereal problem

[Craig Rodrigues <rodrigc@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

OK, I'm getting closer and closer to this working on AIX.

Things I've done:

(1) In a bunch of places in the code I removed '//' style C++ comments
    which the IBM C compiler didn't like.

(2) I also found some places in the code like:

    enum some_enum {  FOO, BAR, };

    IBM C did not like the trailing "," after BAR.

(3) In packet-ipv6.h, IPV6_VERSION is defined, but that is already
    defined in <netinet/in.h> on AIX 4.3, so for now I just commented that out.

(4) in packet-afs.c, when it sucks in <netinet/in.h>,  in.h sucks in
    <sys/machine.h> which defines LITTLE_ENDIAN.  This conflicts with
    LITTLE_ENDIAN in globals.h.  So what I did was, in globals.h, I added:

    #ifdef HAVE_NETINET_IN_H
    #include <netinet/in.h>
    #endif

So after doing all these things, I can compile ethereal and run it.  
I can list the
correct network interfaces on my system: lo0 and en0.  However,
when I start capturing packets on en0, they are all of the protocol type
"TRMAC" and "TR".  The only problem is, I'm not on a Token Ring network.

Any ideas?
