I am trying to build the ASN.1 dissectors on Linux but cannot actually make them compile.

 

git clone https://github.com/wireshark/wireshark.git wireshark-2.6.1

# Introduce errors to show files are not being compiled

sed -i 's/void/ERROR/' wireshark-2.6.1/epan/dissectors/asn1/*/*.c

# Following build instructions from

# https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSrcBuildFirstTime.html#_building_on_unix

 

mkdir wireshark-ninja

cd wireshark-ninja/

cmake -G Ninja ../wireshark-2.6.1/

#   Build files written

ninja

# Build succeeds – I expected it to break

 

Edit wireshark-2.6.1/epan/dissectors/CMakeLists.txt

Change

add_subdirectory(asn1 EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL)

to

add_subdirectory(asn1)

 

And repeat the build steps above, and still the asn1 .c files are not compiled

cmake -G Ninja ../wireshark-2.6.1/

#   Build files written

ninja

# Build succeeds – I expected it to break

 

 

What am I missing?  How do I
