Re: [Wireshark-dev] How to compile and execute the source code of wireshark?
Hi, 2015-06-18 16:17 GMT+02:00 JAI BHAGWAN YADAV saurav.yadav0...@gmail.com: Hello all, I am a beginner, Q- How to compile and execute the source code of wireshark so that (i) Whenever I will compile and execute it, it will also run wireshark (ii) I will use printf firstly so I can see the output at terminal O.S. used: 64 bit, Ubuntu 12.04 What I tried? I have tried ./autogen.sh It run successfully. then./configure It also run successfully, takes 2 minutes to execute on my system (1 GB RAM, virtual machine). thenmake It also run successfully, takes 15-20 approx minutes to execute. Only warnings can be seen in between of these execution but no error occured. *But also no wireshark window get opened, it will only open when I execute the command ./wireshark. So, please tell me the correct way and order to write all the commands*. I want to make changes in the menu bar so that it will show the changes made in the wireshark and also print the output of the printf instruction I will put in one of the code. Well, this seems perfectly normal to me. make command allows you to compile the program (needed only once after each source code change), and ./wireshark allows you to run the program (can be run multiple times once the program is compiled). So far so good. If you want to launch automatically Wireshark after compiling it, I suggest you to create a small shell script that will run both commands (make ./wireshark). Regarding the best practice for debugging Wireshark, I recommend you to read this wiki page: https://wiki.wireshark.org/Development/Tips Have fun, Pascal. ___ Sent via:Wireshark-dev mailing list wireshark-dev@wireshark.org Archives:https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-requ...@wireshark.org?subject=unsubscribe

(ii) I will use printf firstly so I can see the output at terminal O.S. used: 64 bit, Ubuntu 12.04 What I tried? I have tried ./autogen.sh It run successfully. OK, that's what we'd expect to happen. then ./configure It also run successfully, takes 2 minutes to execute on my system (1 GB RAM, virtual machine). OK, that's what we'd expect to happen; there are a lot of tests to perform, so it will take a while to run. then make It also run successfully, takes 15-20 approx minutes to execute. OK, that's what we'd expect to happen; there's a lot of Wireshark source code, so it will take a while to run. If the host of your VM is a multi-core/multiprocessor machine, and the VM is configured to support more than one core, you might want to use the -j flag to run compilations in parallel; I do my compiles on a 4-core MacBook Pro, with two-way multithreading on each core, and make -j 8 makes the compilation run a *lot* faster. Only warnings can be seen in between of these execution but no error occured. OK, that's what we'd expect to happen. But also no wireshark window get opened, And so is that! make *compiles* a program, it doesn't run it, and it's not *supposed* to run it. it will only open when I execute the command ./wireshark. So, please tell me the correct way and order to write all the commands. The correct way to write the commands is: ./autogen.sh - but only if this is the first time you build after checking the source code out from Git; if you make a change to Wireshark source after that, you shouldn't need to run autogen.sh again ./configure - but only if this is the first time you build after checking the source code out from Git; if you make a change to Wireshark source after that, you shouldn't need to run configure again make ./wireshark Yes, all four commands. If you want wireshark to *run*, you need that fourth command. *That's* the command for the execute step in compile and execute the source code of wireshark (or, rather, execute the *binary* code produced by compiling the source code). ___ Sent via:Wireshark-dev mailing list wireshark-dev@wireshark.org Archives:https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-requ...@wireshark.org?subject=unsubscribe
