Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Issues with 1.11.4 related to d-bus (OS X)

[Andrew Bitson <abitson@xxxxxxxxx>]

I’ve just started compiling Wireshark for the first time and I’m having issues with getting the latest source release to work correctly — I’m not sure if it’s a bug or an error with my system — it did work at one point. I’m currently running OS X 10.9.3 (Developer Preview)

I just pulled the latest source from the 1.11.4 train (@5:15 or so CDT 2014-4-14).

I’m able to run autogen.sh, configure and make to produce the executable.

Launching the executable results in the following error message:

Dynamic session lookup supported but failed: launchd did not provide a socket path, verify that org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist is loaded!

Running launchctl list shows dbus is not running, but the GUI loads and I can start a capture. Anytime I try to save the active capture, it hangs and crashes. Crash report: (http://bit.ly/1iW4Nsw).

Running `launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session` and restart the Wireshark executable produces no GUI and no messages in the console, but shows errors in the System.log:

Apr 15 17:33:27 mac.local com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[275] (org.freedesktop.dbus-session[29449]): Exited with code: 1

Apr 15 17:33:27 mac.local com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[275] (org.freedesktop.dbus-session): Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds

No crash reports exist for dbus.

I’m using brew to instal dbus and have uninstalled and reinstalled it a few times. Installed:

 d-bus: stable 1.8.0 (bottled)
