Hi Guy,

The commits that you've referred to,

9e4c018e08d5a657f85f0cde0607db0a6d25ddf4

2c52d954d5713be1b809c3b668b0353d2b355c16

Are they present in the master branch on github? I cant seem to find them in the latest pull from github

Ajays-MacBook-Pro:wireshark ajasaxen$ git show 9e4c018e08d5a657f85f0cde0607db0a6d25ddf4

fatal: bad object 9e4c018e08d5a657f85f0cde0607db0a6d25ddf4

Also like you have stated, i do have the libraries in the non standard paths as I installed them using brew. But i did update the PKG_CONFIG_PATH so that the configure script was able to find these libraries. It was when i used make that the compilation failed.

I believe I am having issues with the make as I dont have the commits mentioned above. On a side note is compiling with cmake not recommended due to some reason?

Thanks,

Ajay

Thanks,

Ajay

1) No, this is not a macOS issue.  It's an issue with installing libgcrypt or GeoIP's headers in a location that's not searched by default, e.g. in something under /opt rather than in /usr/local/include.  It would occur on *any* UN*X platform where those headers aren't in /usr/include or /usr/local/include or some other directory that the compiler searches by default.

2) The issue with gcrypt.h should be fixed by commit 9e4c018e08d5a657f85f0cde0607db0a6d25ddf4 and the issue with GeoIP.h should be fixed by commit 2c52d954d5713be1b809c3b668b0353d2b355c16, so there should be no need to use CMake to compile on macOS *even with headers not installed in /usr/local/include* (and, if not, that should be submitted as a bug, so we can fix it).

So, no, this does not belong in README.macos.
