Please excuse us for not being in the business of teaching ‘first timers’ how this is done on the multitude of platforms this software is supposed to run on. That is just out of our scope. However, we do try to make the process as smooth as possible by preparing the build system in great detail.

One thing that occurs to me is that it might be good to summarize "what 
you should already know" for various kinds of tasks one might want to 
do, e.g. just building versus actually getting in a fixing things.  If I 
make an attempt to write such a thing, I imagine it should go into 
chapter 1 of the Wireshark Developer's Guide.  Is there a better place 
for it?
