Need help in building wireshark on windows 7, 64bit machine

0

Hi,

I'm awfully stuck for two days trying to build legacy code(1.8.7) on windows 7, 64bit machine.

I followed the process as below: https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSetupWin32.html

But it fails during CMake.

My understanding from the below log is that required libraries(gmodule-2.0, gthread-2.0) are not found. These libraries are supposed to be in folder 'wireshark-win64-libs' But this folder is not present in my source code.

I'm totally clueless. Request for some pointers so that I can progress ahead

Using CMake doesn't work isn't used for Windows in versions < 2.0.

You have to build using NMake, there's a copy of the older Developers Guide for 1.11 here that may be useful.

Thanks graham for your quick response. I now switched to nmake but ran into different problems.

My device is Windows 7, 64 bit using Visual studio 10 express

I followed steps as in below link https://www.wireshark.org/~gerald/wsdg_html_2014_01/ChSetupWin32.html

..\..\config.nmake(1035) : fatal error U1050: Can't find C:\wireshark-win32-libs-1.8\vcredist_x86.exe. Have you downloaded it from Microsoft? See the developer's guide section "C-Runtime "Redistributa

As per my understanding it should look in C:\wireshark-win64-libs-1.8. Can you please give me pointers where I might have gone wrong

Below are the tools and they seem to be fine:

    cl: /cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0/VC/Bin/amd64/cl
    link: /cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0/VC/Bin/amd64/link
    nmake: /cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0/VC/Bin/amd64/nmake
    bash: /usr/bin/bash
    bison: /usr/bin/bison
    flex: /usr/bin/flex
    env: /usr/bin/env
    grep: /usr/bin/grep
    /usr/bin/find: /usr/bin/find
    peflags: /usr/bin/peflags
    perl: /usr/bin/perl
    sed: /usr/bin/sed
    unzip: /usr/bin/unzip
    wget: /usr/bin/wget

For Express Editions of VS you must manually download the vc redist files and place them in the appropriate locations. See Section 2.2.13 of the Dev Guide.
