Hello Wireshark Developers,

I'm completely new to Apple development. I want to test my changes to Wireshark and want to compile on the three major platforms: Linux/BSD, Windows and now Mac.

So I have a OsX 10.6, installed Xcode 3 and have used MacPorts 1.9.2 to install the gtk environment. Everything worked fine and I can compile the Wireshark 1.2.12 source code just fine. I can also start the compiled wireshark and it is working.

Next I tried a "make osx-app". This is also making without errors and then I see a Wireshark.app directory is created in packaging/macosx/. However I can not start it. Trying to start it with the "wireshark" script in packaging/macosx/Wireshark.app/Contents/Resources/bin/ results in:

[djagdmann@macuser ~/wireshark/packaging/macosx/Wireshark.app/Contents/Resources/bin] $ ./wireshark

Looking at the loaders/ directory in lib/ I indeed see no libpixbufloader shared libraries. The MacPorts GTK install did not build those.

Then I removed the MacPorts and tried native-gtk/build-gtk.sh, but even after a lot of debugging and fixing some bourne shell problems this file has too many problems, because it is referencing no longer accessible URLs and probably pretty outdated versions anyway.

So after all this long text the question: Does anybody have set up a OsX compilation environment lately and maybe has hints how to resolve all dependencies for an Application (and eventually Package) creation?
