This document contains instructions to build Wireshark natively on Windows
This document contains instructions to build and install Wireshark on Windows
using GCC and MinGW-w64 with the MSYS2 distribution.
Steps to setup the build environment:
How to setup MSYS2:
1. Download and install MSYS2 from https://www.msys2.org.
2. Open the MSYS2 MSYS shell.
3. Update with "pacman -Syu" as many times as necessary. You may also wish
to install base-devel at this point: pacman -S base-devel. Anytime you
3. Update with "pacman -Syu" as many times as necessary. You also need to
have base-devel installed: pacman -S base-devel. Anytime you
want to run pacman it's recommended to do so from the MSYS shell.
4. Install pactoys for convenience:
How to build the Wireshark MSYS2 package:
$ pacman -S pactoys
1. Open the MSYS2 MSYS shell.
5. Install the dependencies. From the source directory run:
2. Create a build directory and copy the PKGBUILD from the source tree:
$ ./tools/msys2-setup.sh --install-all
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ wget https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/-/raw/master/packaging/msys2/mingw-w64-wireshark-git/PKGBUILD
Individual packages can be installed using pacboy:
3. Build the package:
$ pacboy -S toolchain:x cmake:x ninja:x ccache:x
$ makepkg-mingw -sCLf
There isn't a native git package provided with MSYS2 so it's recommended that
you continue using the Git-For-Windows installer (or see [1]).
4. Install it:
From this point on it's a typical ninja build:
$ pacman -U mingw-w64-*-wireshark-*-any.pkg.tar.zst
1. Open the MSYS2 MINGW64 shell.
The application must be run from the MINGW64 shell.
2. Create the build directory. This example will assume the build directory
is under the source directory:
Currently the Wireshark MinGW-w64 build has the following limitations:
$ cd $srcdir && mkdir build && cd build
3. Run cmake:
$ cmake -DENABLE_CCACHE=Yes -DENABLE_WERROR=No ..
4. Build by running "ninja" in the build directory:
$ ninja
Currently the Wireshark MinGW-w64 build using MSYS2 has the following
limitations:
* The ETW extcap (etwdump) does not build.
* The ETW extcap (etwdump) is not supported.
* Some optional dependencies are not available in the official MSYS2
repositories. These are:
@ -58,12 +44,7 @@ limitations:
- SBC codec
- BCG729 codec
* There is no Wireshark binary package available. More work is
needed to implement this. To be decided if it will use NSIS or something
else.
* There is currently no way to build a stand-alone distributable binary
package, similar to the Wireshark NSIS installer built using Visual Studio.
* Many compiler warnings to be fixed.
