Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean: do you mean how do you ensure that "make rpm-package" doesn't built the Qt version of Wireshark or how do you do "make rpm-package" when you don't have the Qt tools installed or...?

At the moment there is no way to do "make rpm-package" without the Qt tools installed. Doing so would require commenting out some of the Qt stuff out from the Makefiles.

Thanks for your reply. I still have one doubt :).

How will i make sure that the Qt Tools will not get build while doing "make rpm-package" ?

             just need one info..
            i am compiling wireshark on centos6.1 64bit..     while
        doing "make rpm-package" i am getting following error:

            make[1]: Entering directory
        `/root/wireshark-svn/__wireshark/ui/qt'
            uic main_welcome.ui -o ui_main_welcome.h
            make[1]: uic: Command not found
            make[1]: *** [ui_main_welcome.h] Error 127

            make[1]: Leaving directory
        `/root/wireshark-svn/__wireshark/ui/qt'
            make: *** [distdir] Error 1

            Please tell me what package i need to install as i have tried to
            search a lot but still unable to fix it.

          Hi Gyanesh,

        uic is the Qt user interface compiler (used to build qtShark, a
        new GUI based on Qt framework). So you need to install the Qt
        packages for CentOS. Not sure why the compilation of qtShark is
        part of the make rpm-package though as I have never built such
        package myself. Maybe someone else can give an advice.


    The "problem" is that RPMs are (always) built from source tarballs.
    When you're doing a "make rpm-package" you're working from the
    (untar'd or from SVN) source so in order to make an RPM the tools
    must first do "make dist" to make the tarball.

    "make dist" currently requires you to have the Qt stuff installed
    (presumably that makes sense from a Qt perspective).

    I've noticed this before and have intentionally *not* added the Qt
    tools to the list of things you must have to build Wireshark: most
    of us aren't building Qt anyway...  But it does leave us in an ugly
    situation: autogen.sh doesn't complain that the tools are missing
    and if you don't then "make dist" (or a Qt build?) fails much later on.
