Having some options use DISABLE_ and others ENABLE_ is inconsistent and difficult to remember. Use ENABLE_ instead consistently. Frame-larger-than remains an exception.

This document contains instructions to build Wireshark natively on Windows
|
|
using GCC and MinGW-w64 with the MSYS2 distribution.
|
|
|
|
Steps to setup the build environment:
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
want to run pacman it's recommended to do so from the MSYS shell.
|
|
|
|
4. Install pactoys for convenience:
|
|
|
|
$ pacman -S pactoys
|
|
|
|
5. Install the dependencies. From the source directory run:
|
|
|
|
$ ./tools/msys2-setup.sh --install-all
|
|
|
|
Individual packages can be installed using pacboy:
|
|
|
|
$ pacboy -S toolchain:x cmake:x ninja:x ccache:x
|
|
|
|
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]).
|
|
|
|
From this point on it's a typical ninja build:
|
|
|
|
1. Open the MSYS2 MINGW64 shell.
|
|
|
|
2. Create the build directory. This example will assume the build directory
|
|
is under the source directory:
|
|
|
|
$ 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.
|
|
|
|
* Some optional dependencies are not available in the official MSYS2
|
|
repositories. These are:
|
|
|
|
- AirPcap
|
|
- libsmi
|
|
- Kerberos
|
|
- Lua-unicode (Lua 5.1 is available and can be used instead)
|
|
- 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.
|
|
|
|
* Many compiler warnings to be fixed.
