Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] CMake Error [CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is not set] while building wireshark from source

[Roland Knall <rknall@xxxxxxxxx>]

You should not need to install make. This is most likely one of two things:

1. you have not installed ninja at all. Please see if it is installed and accessible via our path, by executing "ninja " in a commandline window. If it is not installed, the package for Debian/Ubuntu/Mint is called "ninja-build", for other distros, please choose an appropriate package

2. you have build ninja yourself, but it is not part of your PATH variable.

If you still have issues, you could provide the direct path by setting the cache variable yourself. I usually use cmake-gui for that, as it makes it easier, but you could also use:

cmake -DCMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM=/your/path/to/ninja -G Ninja ../wireshark

kind regards

Looks like you need to install make as well as ninja. Please verify that both `ninja --version` and `make --version` have valid responses.

Hi ,

I am trying to build wireshark from source in Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS and getting Cmake error  . I am following the instructions from the  link https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSrcBuildFirstTime.html#_building_on_unix

1.Error details -I am getting the below error when I am issuing  cmake command  

uws@ubuntu:~/wireshark-ninja$ cmake -G Ninja ../wireshark

CMake Error: CMake was unable to find a build program corresponding to "Ninja".  CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is not set.  You probably need to select a different build tool.
