A Qt version would probably be "good enough" if, for example, Google Earth is considered "good enough", as Google Earth uses Qt (on, I presume, Windows and Linux+X11 as well as on Mac OS X, as I'm guessing they're using it because it's cross-platform). (If not, I wouldn't recommend making a full-blown GUI abstraction layer of our own, unless we can do better than wxWidgets.) The *big* pain for a proper OS X version of Wireshark would be supporting multiple open capture files and multiple live captures all being handled by a single process. That means getting rid of all the global variables in dissectors - which would be a good thing to do, but a lot of work. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev@wireshark.org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-requ...@wireshark.org?subject=unsubscribe
