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.
Your email doesn't explain what you are actually trying to solve. Did 
you complete the CMake step sucessfully? Errors in CMakeError.log are 
normal and expected.
You just need CMake to configure and generate the build successfully. 
For your chosen platform and wireshark version you can easily hit 
dependency issues that can be difficult to resolve.
Many thanks in advance for any help you can give

Geoff
