This file tries to help building Ethereal for Mac OS X (Ethereal does
|
|
|
|
not work on earlier versions of Mac OS).

The changes to enable libwiretap and libethereal being built as shared
|
2004-03-16 18:18:48 +00:00
|
|
|
libraries have broken shared gtk1 builds on Mac OS X. The GLib 1.x and
|
|
|
|
GTK+ 1.x release tarballs were built with an older version of libtool
|
|
|
|
that didn't support shared libraries on Mac OS X, so you can't build and
|
|
|
|
install them as shared libraries, but the shared-library build of
|
|
|
|
Ethereal requires GLib and GTK+, on Mac OS X, to be shared libraries.
|
|
|
|
The alternative to build Ethereal as one big statically linked binary
|
|
|
|
isn't working either (and may never have worked on this OS).

|
The way out of this situation is to use gtk2 and associated libraries
|
|
|
|
which is known to work in this constellation:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GLib 2.2.3
|
|
|
|
Pango 1.2.5
|
|
|
|
GTK+ 2.2.3
|
|
|
|
ATK 1.2.4
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and the corresponding dependencies. In case you also have gtk1 installed,
|
|
|
|
you will need to run configure with the "--enable-gtk2" argument.

Another problem are compile errors in the wiretap directory like the
|
|
|
|
following:
|
|
|
|
pcap-util.c: In function `get_interface_list_findalldevs':
|
|
|
|
pcap-util.c:195: error: `pcap_if_t' undeclared (first use in this function)
|
|
|
|
|
2004-03-21 22:55:59 +00:00
|
|
|
On first sight, it would appear that Mac OS X 10.x ships with a weird
|
|
|
|
version of libpcap that includes pcap_findalldevs, but no definition for
|
|
|
|
pcap_if_t.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As it turns out, this isn't true for Mac OS X 10.3 through 10.3.2; they
|
|
|
|
ships with an 0.6[.x]-derived libpcap that doesn't include
|
|
|
|
"pcap_findalldevs()". The problem in those releases is caused by a
|
|
|
|
Security Update - it updates the libpcap dylib to 0.8.1, but doesn't
|
2004-03-21 19:04:44 +00:00
|
|
|
update the header files (or the man page - and also doesn't update the
|
2004-03-21 22:55:59 +00:00
|
|
|
tcpdump man page to 3.8.1).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In addition, the Software Update to 10.3.3 and later will update the
|
|
|
|
libpcap dylib but not the header files. If systems come pre-installed
|
|
|
|
with 10.3.3, they might have the correct header files (and man pages).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As a workaround, install pcap.h, pcap-bpf.h and pcap-stdinc.h from
|
|
|
|
tcpdump.org's libpcap 0.8.1 in "/usr/include".
