issue of wireshark compiling with Cmake under WIN7 64BIT

Question

I tried to compile wireshark source code with CMAKE,however failed.And I could not figure out the cause.Any suggestions from you are appreciated,thanks a lot.

environment setting is as below:---->

call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x86_amd64
set WIRESHARK_BASE_DIR=E:\Wireshark_Plugin\SecVersion\wireshark-master
set WIRESHARK_CYGWIN_INSTALL_PATH=E:\Software\Cygwin\bin
set WIRESHARK_TARGET_PLATFORM=win64
set QT5_BASE_DIR=E:\Software\QT\5.6\msvc2013_64
set  VISUALSTUDIOVERSION=12.0
set MSVC_VARIANT=MSVC2013EE
e:
cd  E:\Wireshark_Plugin\SecVersion\wsbuild
cmake -DENABLE_CHM_GUIDES=on -G "Visual Studio 12 Win64" ..\wireshark-master
pause

COMPILE result is as below------>

This two lines from the setup shouldn't be required:

set  VISUALSTUDIOVERSION=12.0
set MSVC_VARIANT=MSVC2013EE

Cmake is having difficulties with your build environment, there are at least 2 issues shown, one with zlib and one with glib.

For zlib, can you confirm that E:\Wireshark_Plugin\SecVersion\wireshark\Wireshark-win64-libs contains the file zlib-1.2.8-ws.zip and the directory zlib-1.2.8-ws?

For glib can you confirm the same directory contain the file gtk+-bundle_2.24.23-3.39_win64ws.zip and the directory gtk2?

@grahamb I have the exact same Problem. I can congfirm that, zlib-1.2.8-ws.zip,zlib-1.2.8-ws and gtk+-bundle_2.24.23-3.39_win64ws.zip and the directory gtk2 are available in the indicated Directory. What could be the solution now?

The OP has a different directory layout from that recommended in the Developers Guide (and as used by myself), it's possible that may be causing the issues.

The recommended layout (you can modify the drive and top-level dir, but keep everything the same below that) is:

C:\Development - Top-level dir
C:\Development\wireshark - source code, preferably from a Git clone.
C:\Development\wsbuild32 - 32 bit build directory
C:\Development\wsbuild64 - 64 bit build directory

and after running the CMake generation step, the third party libraries will be installed in:

C:\Development\wireshark-win32-libs
C:\Development\wireshark-win64-libs

and the environment variable WIRESHARK_BASE_DIR is set to C:\Development or as appropriate for your top-level directory

@grahamb I have the exact same Directory Setup. I had 100% success with 64bit. but for some weird reason having issues with 32bit. "C:\Development\wireshark-win32-libs" has been generated and all the files that CMake is showing missing is there....I have no clue what to do now! :/

I think you need to start your own question posting the output of the CMake Generation step along with the environment variables you're using so we can help specifically there.

The issue is solved. I have restarted the Computer and started the whole process and it works just fine :D Thanks a lot for your Support and quick answers. @grahamb
