Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] linux package requirements for wireshark build

["Maynard, Chris" <Christopher.Maynard@xxxxxxx>]

The last line of tools/install_rpms_for_devel.sh is:

 

echo "This tool has been obsoleted by tools/rpm-setup.sh"

 

So would it be better to use tools/rpm-setup.sh instead?

 

Whichever one is recommend, maybe it would be a good idea to mention it in the Wireshark developer’s guide, such as in Section 3.11.2[1], for example?

wireshark.  If there is one, let me know.

 

I generally just run `tools/install_rpms_for_devel.sh` to install all the necessary dependencies.

You could also take a look in `packaging/rpm/SPECS/wireshark.spec.in` or the various README files but the above script is there to simplify your life...
