Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] Unable to compile static build of TShark on Fedora 7

Guy, thanks for responding.

I still can't get a static build to work, even when using --without-plugins.
It still complains about gmodule2.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Barry

The options that exist should be working.

"--disable-zlib", however, isn't one of the options that exist:

        $ ./configure --help
`configure' configures this package to adapt to many kinds of systems.

        Usage: ./configure [OPTION]... [VAR=VALUE]...

                ...

        For better control, use the options below.

zlib is a package, not a feature, so there's no "--disable-zlib"
option; the option is "--without-zlib".

However, configure scripts don't check whether a --enable, --disable,
--with, or --without flag refers to an option that exists; you could
say "--enable-faster-than-light-travel" or "--with-an-extra-scoop-of-
whipped-cream" and you'll get no complaints.
