Try opening CMakeLists.txt. Qt Creator has supported CMake for some time, and I often use that combination to build on macOS. answered 29 Jul '17, 08:26  Gerald Combs ♦♦ |
This is because you are not supposed to use QtCreator to compile Wireshark. Follow the development guide instead. Note hat CMake is also supported on Linux (you have a dedicated README in the source tree). answered 29 Jul '17, 05:21  Pascal Quantin Thanks...I sort of figured it out here: https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChUIQt.html However the build failed with: :-1: error: No rule to make target '/home/build/wireshark-2.4.0/doc/udpdump.pod', needed by 'doc/udpdump.1'. Stop. I also tried to tell ./configure that Qt is in /opt/Qt5.6.1, but that failed as well :( (29 Jul '17, 05:27) DigiAngelXX This is a bug we fixed after 2.4 release. See https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13903 (29 Jul '17, 10:19) Pascal Quantin Thanks..this worked well with 2.4.2. (21 Oct '17, 11:08) DigiAngelXX |
Thank you...yes I did get that working...the CMakeLists.txt at least...but the above error is what QtCreator gives me. Ideally I'd like to just use the dev environment that is present in /opt/Qt5.6.1 instead of installing a bunch of system libraries, but I've not had any luck with getting wireshark to see /opt/Qt5.6.1 as the location for libs and headers and what not.
You should be able to fix this within Qt Creator by opening the preferences dialog, selecting "Build & Run", then "Qt Versions" and manually adding the 5.6.1 qmake location.
