Hello, I'm trying to build Wireshark 2.0 from the source on Windows 7 64-bit. I've been following this guide: https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSetupWin32.html#ChWin32Generate Everything went fine until the Wireshark Build phase. So, cmake generated build files correctly. The only thing different from the guide is Qt version. I have 5.4 installed which was used to build Wireshark 1.12 (successfully). I'm adding error logs below (if you look down below you can see many are concerning Qt). I compared them with build logs from Wireshark buildbot and the trouble started when Qt should be compiled. Any help or suggestion is welcome. asked 14 Mar '16, 07:06  Aliniel |
One Answer:
Looks to be an issue with missing docbook components, have you installed the following Cygwin packages as per the Developers Guide, in particular the 2nd one on the list:

I was indeed missing docbook-xml45. But it only took 3 erros away. I also installed Qt 5.5 just to be sure and it didn't help. New logs: http://pastebin.com/hpr6VyLs
Odd results, what's the contents of
C:\Development\bmakan\wsbuild64\version.h?There were only these 3 lines:
Unable to open C:/Development/bmakan/wireshark/.svn/entries
#define VCSVERSION "SVN Rev Unknown"
#define VCSBRANCH "unknown"
The first line is an error and not meant to be there.
version.his configured by CMake, and uses the output of tools\make-version.pl to generate the contents.In your case it seems to be attempting to use svn. Is this because you don't have git on your path? In your build directory, have a look in CMakeCache.txt for a line beginning with
GIT_EXECUTABLE:FILEPATH=, report back what you find.This happens because of a bug in make-version.pl file. Try editing the file and in line 317 replace:

Pascal's solution worked. Thanks a lot!
Note this bug was fixed in the master branch in October 2015, change 11041.
@Aliniel, what version are you building?
It's a custom build branched from 2.0 at some earlier point. It was probably before thix fix was applied.
