Answer 1

Try to open the following link in a browser

http://www.iana.org/assignments/service-name-port-numbers/service-name-port-numbers.txt

The file does not exist and that's why make-services.pl reports the following error message

http://www.iana.org/assignments/service-name-port-numbers/service-name-port-numbers.txt doesn't have enough data

As a quick fix, you could change the perl script wireshark/tools/make-services.pl

from this:

my $iana_port_url = "http://www.iana.org/assignments/service-name-port-numbers/service-names-port-numbers.txt";

to this:

my $iana_port_url = "http://www.iana.org/assignments/service-names-port-numbers/service-names-port-numbers.txt";

Difference: service-name-port-numbers -> service-names-port-numbers

The better fix, would (probably) be to update your copy of the source code to the current release.
