Multi-configuration generators (such as Xcode or VS) append the current build configuration to most paths (eg. Debug/Release). Currently this results in inconsistent paths for the application bundle and the included command line tools. This commit sets the correct path information for multi-configuration generators for macOS application bundles. The standard Makefile behaviour is untouched. One Windows specific configuration was changed, as it was conflicting with these changes. This needs to be checked before merging. Additionally the wrapper scripts are omitted for Xcode, as the path to the binaries depends on the configuration chosen in Xcode. Therefore it is not viable to create these scripts in the cmake run.

This file tries to help building Wireshark for macOS (The Operating
|
|
System Formerly Known As Mac OS X And Then OS X) (Wireshark does not
|
|
work on the classic Mac OS).
|
|
|
|
You must have the developer tools (called Xcode) installed. For
|
|
versions of macOS up to and including Snow Leopard, Xcode 3 should be
|
|
available on the install DVD; Xcode 4 is available for download from
|
|
developer.apple.com and, for Lion and later releases, from the Mac App
|
|
Store. See
|
|
|
|
http://guide.macports.org/chunked/installing.xcode.html
|
|
|
|
for details. For Xcode 4, you will need to install the command-line
|
|
tools; select Preferences from the Xcode menu, select Downloads in the
|
|
Preferences window, and install Command Line Tools.
|
|
|
|
You must also have GLib and, if you want to build Wireshark as well as
|
|
TShark, you must have also Qt installed. You can download precompiled
|
|
Qt packages and source code from
|
|
|
|
https://www.qt.io/download-open-source/
|
|
|
|
or use the tools/macos-setup.sh script described below.
|
|
|
|
You should have CMake installed; you can download binary distributions
|
|
for macOS from
|
|
|
|
https://cmake.org/download/
|
|
|
|
The tools/macos-setup.sh script can be used to download, patch as
|
|
necessary, build as necessary, and install those libraries and the
|
|
libraries on which they depend, along with tools such as CMake; it will,
|
|
by default, also install other libraries that can be used by Wireshark
|
|
and TShark. The versions of libraries and tools to download are
|
|
specified by variables set early in the script; you can comment out the
|
|
settings of optional libraries if you don't want them downloaded and
|
|
installed. Before running the tools/macos-setup.sh script, and before
|
|
attempting to build Wireshark, make sure your PKG_CONFIG_PATH
|
|
environment variable's setting includes /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig.
|
|
|
|
The tools/macos-setup.sh script must be run from the top-level source
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
|
After you have installed those libraries:
|
|
|
|
1. If you have installed Qt into some non-standard place, as is
|
|
distinctly possible with the build included with
|
|
macos-setup.sh, you must inform cmake by either including its
|
|
"bin" directory as part of the PATH environment variable or
|
|
setting CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to the directory above Qt's "lib"
|
|
directory. For Qt 5.8 installed into one's home directory,
|
|
for instance:
|
|
|
|
% export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=~/Qt5.8.0/5.8/clang_64
|
|
|
|
This step is unnecessary if you've used a recent version of
|
|
Homebrew, as the CMake build scripts will find Qt.
|
|
|
|
2. Make a directory in which Wireshark is to be built, separate
|
|
from the top-level source directory for Wireshark - it can be a
|
|
subdirectory of that top-level source directory;
|
|
|
|
3. cd to that directory, and run CMake, with an argument that is a
|
|
path to the top-level source directory;
|
|
|
|
4. When CMake finishes, run make to build Wireshark.
|
|
|
|
For example, to build Wireshark in a subdirectory of the top-level
|
|
source directory, named "build", do, from the top-level source
|
|
directory;
|
|
|
|
mkdir build
|
|
cd build
|
|
cmake ..
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to use the Xcode IDE to build and debug Wireshark
|
|
using cmake's Xcode generator. Create a separate build directory, as
|
|
described above and run cmake with the "-G Xcode" argument to create
|
|
a Xcode project file in the current directory.
|
|
|
|
cmake -G Xcode ..
|
|
|
|
1. Double click Wireshark.xcodeproj
|
|
|
|
2. Choose to create schemes manually
|
|
|
|
3. Create a scheme for the ALL_BUILD target
|
|
|
|
4. Edit the scheme, go to the run configuration and select Wireshark.app
|
|
as executable
|
|
|
|
If you upgrade the major release of macOS on which you are building
|
|
Wireshark, we advise that, before you do any builds after the upgrade,
|
|
you remove the build directory and all its subdiretories, and repeat the
|
|
above process, re-running CMake and rebuilding from scratch.
|
|
|
|
On Snow Leopard (10.6) and later releases, if you are building on a
|
|
machine with a 64-bit processor (with the exception of the early Intel
|
|
Core Duo and Intel Core Solo machines, all Apple machines with Intel
|
|
processors have 64-bit processors), the C/C++/Objective-C compiler will
|
|
build 64-bit by default.
|
|
|
|
This means that you will, by default, get a 64-bit version of Wireshark.
|
|
|
|
One consequence of this is that, if you built and installed any required
|
|
or optional libraries for Wireshark on an earlier release of macOS, those
|
|
are probably 32-bit versions of the libraries, and you will need to
|
|
un-install them and rebuild them on your current version of macOS, to get
|
|
64-bit versions.
|
|
|
|
Some required and optional libraries require special attention if you
|
|
install them by building from source code on Snow Leopard and later
|
|
releases; the tools/macos-setup.sh script will handle that for you.
|
|
|
|
GLib - the GLib configuration script determines whether the system's
|
|
libiconv is GNU iconv or not by checking whether it has libiconv_open(),
|
|
and the compile will fail if that test doesn't correctly indicate
|
|
whether libiconv is GNU iconv. In macOS, libiconv is GNU iconv, but the
|
|
64-bit version doesn't have libiconv_open(); a workaround for this is to
|
|
replace all occurrences of "libiconv_open" with "iconv_open" in the
|
|
configure script before running the script. The tools/macos-setup.sh
|
|
setup script will patch GLib to work around this.
|
|
|
|
libgcrypt - the libgcrypt configuration script attempts to determine
|
|
which flavor of assembler-language routines to use based on the platform
|
|
type determined by standard autoconf code. That code uses uname to
|
|
determine the processor type; however, in macOS, uname always reports
|
|
"i386" as the processor type on Intel machines, even Intel machines with
|
|
64-bit processors, so it will attempt to assemble the 32-bit x86
|
|
assembler-language routines, which will fail. The workaround for this
|
|
is to run the configure script with the --disable-asm argument, so that
|
|
the assembler-language routines are not used. The tools/macos-setup.sh
|
|
will configure libgcrypt with that option.
|
|
|
|
If you want to build Wireshark installer packages on a system that
|
|
doesn't include Xcode 3.x or earlier, you will need to install some
|
|
additional tools. From the Xcode menu, select the Open Developer Tool
|
|
menu, and then select More Developer Tools... from that menu. That will
|
|
open up a page on the Apple Developer Connection Web site; you may need
|
|
a developer account to download the additional tools. Download the
|
|
Auxiliary Tools for Xcode package; when the dmg opens, drag all its
|
|
contents to the Contents/Applications subdirectory of the Xcode.app
|
|
directory (normally /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Applications); then
|
|
copy .../Contents/Applications/PackageMaker.app/Contents/MacOS/PackageMaker
|
|
to /usr/bin/packagemaker (the PackageMaker app, when run from the
|
|
command line rather than as a double-clicked app, is the packagemaker
|
|
command).
