Hi,

I�m hoping you can give me some pointers about how to compile Wireshark 2.6.3 on a Raspberry Pi Model 3B, with Raspbian Stretch as the OS.

I have wireshark 2.2.6, installed via apt-get, but am experiencing a problem which I have been told is solved in more uptodate versions of wireshark.� Unfortunately I haven�t been able to locate any later versions compiled for the Raspberry Pi, which I understand uses an ARMv7 processor.

It�s my first time attempting a compile from source using CMake (I did use make once about 5 years ago on another project � and that took me about 2 months to get working L ).� I�ve read a couple of CMake tutorials, but there is rather a large gap between the basic �hello world� examples, and really substantial project like wireshark!, on top of which I know very little about C and C++.

I�ve been following the instructions from here https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSrcBuildFirstTime.html#_building_on_unix

I�ve also read https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsug_html_chunked/ChBuildInstallUnixBuild.html, and https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsug_html_chunked/ChBuildInstallUnixTrouble.html , as well as looked at the INSTALL file on https://github.com/wireshark/wireshark

I **think** I�ve managed to install all the necessary tools and dev packages needed (but can�t be sure).

My core problem is that I�m too new to Cmake to understand what **to do** about the messages I�m seeing in CMakeError.log and CMakeOutput.log (both attached to this email).

I�m hoping that my problem is basic enough that with a few pointers about what to look at or learn about next, it can be solved.

Your email doesn't explain what you are actually trying to solve. Did you complete the CMake step sucessfully? Errors in CMakeError.log are normal and expected.

You just need CMake to configure and generate the build successfully. For your chosen platform and wireshark version you can easily hit dependency issues that can be difficult to resolve.

Many thanks in advance for any help you can give

Geoff
