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

[Dario Lombardo <lomato@xxxxxxxxx>]

There is a complimentary script under tools, that does that dirty job. It's debian-setup.sh and supports Ubuntu.

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.

CMake Error: CMAKE_C_COMPILER not set, after EnableLanguage

CMake Error: CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER not set, after EnableLanguage
