It's a matter for me, because i would like to change the wireshark code, and
i never can do that, if i can't see my errors when i compile ( for yet i
can't see my errors because of the amazing number of warning).
So, how people do to change wireshark code, does they use a special code
wittrer environnement ?????
I tend to filter out "dissect_.*defined but not used" with grep, and the
number of warnings that remain is small enough that I can usually find
the warnings.
This is especially true if you've modified your dissector after a
complete compile of Wireshark, so that most of the warnings don't show
up because a re-"make" won't compile most of the files.
We're currently working on trying to use "-Werror" for as many source
files as we can, and removing the warnings. Unfortunately, as per my
other mail, currently some files generated from ASN.1 files have a *LOT*
of warnings (those are the "dissect_.*defined but not used" warnings I
filter out), so you still get warnings; however, if you list your
dissector as one of the "clean" dissectors, so that it's compiled with
-Werror, the compile will stop if you have warnings.
My other matter, it's that now i can build wireshark as it sayed when i do
"./configuration" but i wait 10 min for the end of the "make" execution but
it was not enough.
It is normal that i need to wait more than 10 min to compile wireshark ???
If your machine isn't fast enough to compile and link 1.8 million lines
of code into one medium-sized shared library, one really big shared
library, and several applications including one GUI-based application
that links with both of those shared libraries, in 10 minutes or less:
$ wc -l `find . -name '*.[ch]' -print | egrep -v 'asn1/'` | tail -1
1821102 total
then, yes, it's normal that you need to wait more than 10 minutes to
compile Wireshark from scratch.
And even if you're recompiling after you've changed your dissector, so
that most of those lines of code aren't recompiled, the really big
shared library still needs to be relinked (unless your dissector is a
plugin).
