This document contains instructions to build and install Wireshark on Windows
This document contains instructions on how to build and install Wireshark on Windows
using GCC and MinGW-w64 with the MSYS2 distribution.
How to setup MSYS2:
The MSYS2 installer can be downloaded from https://www.msys2.org.
1. Download and install MSYS2 from https://www.msys2.org.
Wireshark is available as an MSYS2 binary package[1]. It can be installed using pacman,
for example using the UCRT64 shell:
2. Open the MSYS shell.
$ pacman -S mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-wireshark
3. Update with "pacman -Syu" as many times as necessary. You also need to
have base-devel installed:
$ pacman -Syu base-devel.
If you wish to build wireshark from source code keep reading.
How to build the Wireshark MSYS2 package:
How to build Wireshark from source:
1. Open the shell for the selected environment. If in doubt choose the UCRT64 shell.
1. Open the shell for the selected 64-bit environment.
2. Build and install Wireshark using the MSYS2 PKGBUILD:
2. Build using CMake + Ninja:
$ cp -r $srcdir/packaging/msys2/mingw-w64-wireshark-git ./$builddir
$ cd $builddir
$ makepkg-mingw -si
$ cd $srcdir
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake ..
$ ninja
$ ninja test # optional
$ ninja install # optional
The application should be launched using the same shell.
The application should be launched using the same shell. Alternatively you
can also use the PKGBUILD included in the Wireshark distribution.
Currently the MSYS2 build has the following limitations compared to
the build using Visual Studio (MSVC):
* The Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) extcap cannot be compiled using MinGW-w64.
* Lua version is 5.1 (MSVC uses Lua 5.2) and does not have UTF-8 patches[1].
* Lua version is 5.1 (MSVC uses Lua 5.2) and does not have UTF-8 patches[2].
* Enhanced Kerberos dissection with decryption is not available.
