Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] Zillions of undefined references when linking ethereal.exe on cygwin

["Olivier Biot" <ethereal@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi list,

When I try to compile Ethereal (latest snapshot, but already so for a
longer time), I cannot link ethereal.exe but instead I get tons of
warnings that symbols used have undefined references.

I run configure as:

./configure --config-cache --with-extra-gcc-checks --without-plugins -
-with-pcre --enable-gtk2 --disable-editcap --disable-text2pcap --disab
le-mergecap --disable-randpkt --disable-dftest --disable-dependency-tr
acking

And the faulty step in make starts with:

/bin/bash ./libtool --mode=link
gcc  -D_U_="__attribute__((unused))" -Wall -W -Wcast-qual -Wcast-align
 -Wbad-function-cast -pedantic -Wstrict-prototypes -g -O2 -I/usr/local
/include -pthreads -I/usr/X11R6/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/X11R6/lib/gtk-2

2.0 -lpangox-1.0 -lpango-1.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lgthread-2.0
 -lglib-2.0 -lintl -liconv -lm    -lz

I get 755 warnings about 243 undefined references. I attached the
relevant part of the output of 'make' to this mail. Hopefully someone
can figure out what is the problem :)

Regards,

Olivier
