Hi all,
following my previous questions, I have finally got a wireshark binary. I thought I'd report how. 

1) svn co http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/wireshark/trunk wireshark-trunk
2) Next I needed to do a hack to copy some of the library files to a place autoconf/automake can find them. 

kestrel /tmp/wireshark-trunk %  aclocal --print-ac-dir
/opt/csw/share/aclocal


cd /opt/csw/share/aclocal
tar cf original-m4-macros *
kestrel /tmp/wireshark-trunk % cp /tmp/wireshark-trunk/aclocal-fallback/* /opt/csw/share/aclocal 

3) autoreconf
it reports some errors about missing files, and says to correct by running automake --add-missing 


4)  automake --add-missing

There is a persistent complaint about ltmain.sh missing.
I found a copy of that at /usr/local/share/libtool/ltmain.sh, so copied that to /tmp/wireshark-trunk 

5) autoreconf

6) Configured it to use my Sun compiler

./configure CC=/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc CXX=/opt/SUNWspro/bin/CC
There was still this error about the library and header for pcap not matching
configure:26535: WARNING: Your pcap library is more recent than your pcap header. configure:26537: WARNING: Wireshark won't be able to use functions not declared configure:26539: WARNING: in that header. You should install a newer version of 


7) gmake

8) ./wireshart
It works. I've not tried capturing any data yet, but I can inspect some from a dump someone sent me.
Here's some info on the system. The machine is a Sun Blade 2000 (2 x 1.2 GHz, 8 GB RAM), not a Blade 1000 as the output from unames suggests, but they are very similar machines.
