Did you read the INSTALL file? It seems that it explains all the steps and even installs the library for you. (The README has Windows instructions.)

What do you mean by configure? What do you mean there's no progress if you use cmake? The build fails? It never finishes? Keep in mind it takes quite a while to compile Wireshark.
