Hi,
ethereal is certainly one of the most useful programs I've ever used! ;-)
But, as a matter of personal taste, I don't like GTK's look&feel too much and
therefore over the last few days have started with a KDE GUI for it.
It's still absolutely basic, all it can do currently is read a capture file or
capture from hardcoded eth0 and display the packets as packet list, protocol
tree and hex dump with quite a few things missing.
If you want to check it out, attached is a patch with all changes needed to
ethereal's Makefile.am (a few days old CVS version), the actual sources are
available from :pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/usr/local/cvs, module
kethereal, empty password. Do the checkout from inside ethereal's toplevel
directory.
I didn't write any configure check for the KDE dependency yet, so if you apply
the attached patch, the kde/ subdir must be present and you need to have
libtool 1.4 (1.3 fails on the recursive dependencies) and a recent kdelibs
version (must be CVS HEAD, KDE 2.x won't do).
Also, before you can build the executable from ethereal's dir, this is needed
to build the GUI library:
cd kde
make -f Makefile.cvs
./configure
make
I'm wondering if it would be possible to add this (once it's a little more
stable and complete) to ethereal's CVS tree?

Thanks for any comment, suggestions, justified flames,
