Hi Jeff,
THANKS so much for your guidance- I have never done something like this
before and it is pretty cool that is worked.
I was looking in the Source directory for 1.8.1 and did not see a SPEC file.
Wireshark's version is in packaging/rpm/SPECS/wireshark.spec{.in} . The
version I quoted was from Fedora Core 17 (they have their own spec
file). I quoted theirs mainly because... Hmmm, I thought I used it as a
base for an RPM I recently built for CentOS 6 but maybe I actually
started with CentOS 6's spec file. Hmm...
For future reference, I would like to know how to determine the
requirements as the Config.Log file seemed too cryptic for me but I have
had experience with SPEC files. Could you enlighten me?
The main place to start would be the INSTALL file in the top-level
directory of the source; it's supposed to tell you the dependencies you
need (if it doesn't that's a bug).
