The README.qt file mentions that this is problematic, so I thought I'd
share how I ended up doing it. This isn't the most elegant method, but
it worked for me :)
1. Build the regular wireshark code base with ./autogen.sh &&
./configure && make
2. Create a 'lib' directory in the root of the wireshark source tree
(this should just be `mkdir lib`).
3. Add the following symlinks to the lib directory (this is the hack):
libui.a -> ../ui/libui.a
libui_dirty.a -> ../ui/libui_dirty.a
libwireshark.so -> ../epan/.libs/libwireshark.so
libwireshark.so.0 -> ../epan/.libs/libwireshark.so.0
libwiretap.so -> ../wiretap/.libs/libwiretap.so
libwiretap.so.0 -> ../wiretap/.libs/libwiretap.so.0
libwsutil.so -> ../wsutil/.libs/libwsutil.so
libwsutil.so.0 -> ../wsutil/.libs/libwsutil.so.0
4. Open up Qt Creator, point it at QtShark.pro and everything should just work.
Cheers,
Evan
