Hi,

 

I’m hoping you can give me some pointers about how to compile Wireshark 2.6.3 on a Raspberry Pi Model 3B, with Raspbian Stretch as the OS.  

 

I have wireshark 2.2.6, installed via apt-get, but am experiencing a problem which I have been told is solved in more uptodate versions of wireshark.  Unfortunately I haven’t been able to locate any later versions compiled for the Raspberry Pi, which I understand uses an ARMv7 processor.

 

It’s my first time attempting a compile from source using CMake (I did use make once about 5 years ago on another project – and that took me about 2 months to get working L ).  I’ve read a couple of CMake tutorials, but there is rather a large gap between the basic “hello world” examples, and really substantial project like wireshark!, on top of which I know very little about C and C++.

 

I’ve been following the instructions from here https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSrcBuildFirstTime.html#_building_on_unix

 

I’ve also read https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsug_html_chunked/ChBuildInstallUnixBuild.html, and https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsug_html_chunked/ChBuildInstallUnixTrouble.html , as well as looked at the INSTALL file on https://github.com/wireshark/wireshark

 

I *think* I’ve managed to install all the necessary tools and dev packages needed (but can’t be sure).

 

My core problem is that I’m too new to Cmake to understand what *to do* about the messages I’m seeing in CMakeError.log and CMakeOutput.log (both attached to this email).

 

I’m hoping that my problem is basic enough that with a few pointers about what to look at or learn about next, it can be solved.

 

Many thanks in advance for any help you can give

 

Geoff
