I'm developing on a laptop without internet access. The problem arises when I enter I have all the appropriate library files on the laptop without internet, but where do I put them so wireshark can use them? Does anyone have a set of instructions to follow to build wireshark without internet? This question is marked "community wiki". asked 09 Aug '11, 11:14  Dean Wormer |

So I took the files from http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/wireshark-win32-libs/trunk/packages
In the directory you mention, do I put the .zip files and let
nmake -f Makefile.nmake setuptake care of it? Do I extract the folders, extract the dlls and just runnmake -f Makefile.nmake all?Sorry for the noobish questions. I appreciate your help
placing the .zip archives in the folder and running
nmake -f Makefile.nmakeshould be sufficient. YMMV since building on Windows without directly following the steps in the developer's guide is always a bit tricky.Once you have all the dependency files, go ahead and run
nmake -f Makefile.nmake setup, which will run the verify_tools, clean_setup and process_libs targets. When you get to the process_libs part, you'll see messages such as, "Fileblah.zipalready there; not retrieving". You only need to run setup once (unless you want to update any libraries). When the setup completes, you're ready to runnmake -f Makefile.nmake all. If you want to create an installer, you'll need to get other stuff though, such as the NSIS installer and vcredist_x86.exe. See the Win32 guide for more details.
