Wireshark · Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] test case in configure script fails for gtk on Solaris with gcc

["Dr. David Kirkby" <david.kirkby@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a Sun Blade 2000 running Solaris 10

# cat /etc/release
                      Solaris 10 8/07 s10s_u4wos_12b SPARC
          Copyright 2007 Sun Microsystems, Inc.  All Rights Reserved.
                       Use is subject to license terms.
                           Assembled 16 August 2007



and are trying to build wireshark-0.99.7, but have hit a few issues.

1) Trying to configure with gcc (/usr/sfw/bin/gcc  3.4.3 which came with 
Solaris and 3.4.5 from Blastwave) I find it bombs out very quickly with:


./configure CC=/opt/csw/gcc3/bin/gcc CXX=/opt/csw/gcc3/bin/g++



checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.0.0... no
*** Could not run GTK+ test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log 
for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means GTK+ is incorrectly 
installed.
configure: error: GTK+ isn't available, so Wireshark can't be compiled



This seems odd, since they are present, as can be seen if I call 
pkg-config from the command line.

kestrel /tmp/wireshark-0.99.7 % /usr/bin/pkg-config  glib-2.0 --modversion
2.4.1
kestrel /tmp/wireshark-0.99.7 % /usr/bin/pkg-config gtk+-2.0 --modversion
2.4.9

Looking at config.log, it looks to me as if the compiler is complaining 
about an invalid option 't'.

I've tried building with Suns compiler and get a lot further, as it 
compiles hundreds of files OK before generating an error(s). The errors 
I get there will be reported in another email, as they are quite 
different to this which occurs during the configure process.
