Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Building under Ubuntu on WSL

[Neil Piercy <neil.piercy@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to re-building the standard Ubuntu wireshark package 3.2.3-1 from focal installed under WSL from the MS store.

First issue was the lack of SYSV_IPC, so default fakeroot builds don't work, but switching to faked tcp as a build option works: "debuild -b -uc -us -r'fakeroot --faked faked-tcp'

The second issue was  https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues/3023, but the workaround worked: "strip --remove-section=.note.ABI-tag /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Core.so.5.12.8 ."

That gets all the way to the packaging which is failing in a very strange way:
dpkg-gencontrol: error: install new files list file: No such file or directory

Turning on the verbose build flags gives some invocations of dpkg-gencontrol work and some fail, and re-running, it looks like _different_ package invocations succeed and fail on every build run. Using --no-parallel didn't change behaviour, but it also didn't seem to propagate to the dh_gencontrol except to remove the --parallel option (it didn't add --no-parallel, and the dh_gencontrol still seems to be by default --parallel)), but even using an override rule with -no-parallel didn't seem to actually make it non parallel. Sample logs (grep'ed with "gencontrol" and the long lines truncated) below.

Anyone tried building on WSL or seen anything similar? I'm beginning to suspect a WSL FS issue, but that is just a guess right now.

Regards,
Neil
