Hi, I’m building Wireshark 4.0.7 from source without any modifications.

I can build and execute Wireshark with no problems.

 

We were given a 3^rd party tool (no source) that is used to view logs produced by an LTE small cell basestation.

The 3^rd party tool uses Wireshark to dissect S1AP and “higher” protocols.

The tool looks to be a “rebadged” version of this:  https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/download/attachments/18350127/Intercell%20monitoring.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1607411802557&api=v2

 

The tool works with Wireshark 3.x.y and 4.0.1, 4.0.6, and 4.0.7 when they are the official builds from the Wireshark website.

The tool will not work with the 4.0.7 (or 3.6.2) version I build from source.

 

I don’t know how the tool “uses” Wireshark.

*** I’m trying to figure out why my build differs from the official build (functionally, not byte for byte).  ***

 

Does anyone have any idea why my build wouldn’t work?

I built as per the Wireshark Developer’s Guide, section 2.2 (No Chocolatey, no Git).

 

This screenshot is when the official build is installed (Help/About details from Wireshark below):  note the 2 right panels are filled out
