Well, yes :-). I guess I had assumed that most of the developers were using 64-bit, it was just a question of what is being built by the buildbot. > We could, I guess, build dumpcap 32-bit only, and just build Wireshark and > TShark 64-bit. > > Also, that would require arranging, somehow, to have both 32-bit and > 64-bit versions of GLib installed, with the different versions of > Wireshark built against the different versions.

Ah, so MacOS doesn't have, say, "/usr/lib/" and "/usr/lib64/" for 32- and 64-bit libraries? Or is this because we're shipping glib, not using one from the OS? But: would the header files have to be different? Linux and Solaris seem get away with one set of header files for both the 32- and 64-bit libraries. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <[email protected]> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe
