This document contains instructions to build and install Wireshark on Windows
|
|
using GCC and MinGW-w64 with the MSYS2 distribution.
|
|
|
|
How to setup MSYS2:
|
|
|
|
1. Download and install MSYS2 from https://www.msys2.org.
|
|
|
|
2. Open the MSYS shell.
|
|
|
|
3. Update with "pacman -Syu" as many times as necessary. You also need to
|
|
have base-devel installed:
|
|
|
|
$ pacman -Syu base-devel.
|
|
|
|
How to build the Wireshark MSYS2 package:
|
|
|
|
1. Open the shell for the selected environment. If in doubt choose the UCRT64 shell.
|
|
|
|
2. Build and install Wireshark using the MSYS2 PKGBUILD:
|
|
|
|
$ cp -r $srcdir/packaging/msys2/mingw-w64-wireshark-git ./$builddir
|
|
$ cd $builddir
|
|
$ makepkg-mingw -si
|
|
|
|
The application should be launched using the same shell.
|
|
|
|
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].
|
|
|
|
* Enhanced Kerberos dissection with decryption is not available.
|
|
|
|
* AirPcap SDK is not available. AirPcap is EOL and currently there is no plan to
|
|
add support for it with MSYS2 builds.
|
|
|
|
* TODO: Add a stand-alone distributable binary installer that can be
|
|
deployed outside the MSYS2 environment.
