I am trying to build Wireshark in my 64 bit Windows7 machine. I downloaded the source code(2.0.1) from downloads and configured and generated using CMake as per this documentation. All these were OK. Then I built the generated Wireshark.sln
file in Visual Studio 2013. First it gave me an error because of which I had to install flex 2.5.37
. Now while building, the previous error was solved and it tells :
1>------ Build started: Project: wiretap, Configuration: RelWithDebInfo Win32 ------

Please help me to solve this :(..

Please post the output of your CMake generation step, e.g. redirect the output to a file (
cmake … > cmake.txt
) and post the file’s contents here as a comment under your question.Flex is normally installed as the Cygwin package flex.
Under cygwin package, flex version was 2.5.4. So I had to install 2.5.37 separately
@grahamb: Added the output of CMake generation step
The CMake output looks OK, although I haven’t personally used the Gnuwin32 fle and bison packages. My cygwin flex is 2.5.39, why was there an issue with 2.5.4?
I note from your question:
so does that mean you used a source tarball rather than git? If so then you may have hit on a “bad” version, can you try to download the sources using git clone as described in the Developers Guide?
@grahamb: Yes, I downloaded manually.But it was specified as a stable release. In flex 2.5.4, the option
–header-file
to specify output header file is not supported which gave meundefined flag
error.Also, In the generated
.h
file,#undef YY_NEW_FILE
and#undef YY_DO_BEFORE_ACTION
is set. Commenting these two lines gives me a successful build. It is something related to flex it seems. Already reported here [http://sourceforge.net/p/flex/mailman/message/21495862/]Running lex involves some funky stuff, it’s not run directly, but via the bash script tools\runlex.sh.
No-one else has reported this issue so either:
