1. Introduction
|
|
|
|
Vagrant is a virtual machine management program that makes it trivial to build
|
|
and configure reproducible virtual machines. Wireshark comes with a Vagrantfile
|
|
which will set up a complete Ubuntu development environment in a virtual
|
|
machine, including all necessary compilers, dependent libraries, and tools like
|
|
valgrind.
|
|
|
|
Using vagrant can greatly simplify setup for new developers, at the cost of
|
|
running your builds in a virtual machine, thus with reduced performance.
|
|
|
|
2. Installation
|
|
|
|
Vagrant requires VirtualBox to be installed, as that is the backing virtual
|
|
machine technology it uses. Install it first from https://www.virtualbox.org/.
|
|
|
|
Now install vagrant itself from https://www.vagrantup.com/.
|
|
|
|
3. Setup
|
|
|
|
With virtualbox and vagrant installed, setting up your VM is as simple as
|
|
running `vagrant provision` in the wireshark source directory. This will
|
|
download, install and configure a complete Ubuntu development environment. It
|
|
will also mount the Wireshark source directory into the VM, and run an
|
|
out-of-tree cmake build into the ~/build directory of the VM.
|
|
|
|
4. Usage
|
|
|
|
Running `vagrant ssh` from the wireshark source directory will put your shell
|
|
into the VM. Running `make` inside the `~/build` directory of the VM will
|
|
build wireshark based on whatever is in your source tree.
