@ -15,14 +15,27 @@ The Qt interface for Wireshark has been compiled and tested on Mac OS X 10.6
Compilation via Qt Creator has been tested but command-line compilation using
QMake and make or nmake should work.
The ui/qt directory is loosely coupled with the rest of the codebase. The main
Wireshark sources must be built beforehand using CMake on Linux and OS X and
nmake on Windows. Autotools + QMake is a basket full of crazy that hasn't yet
been sorted and folded. (Autotools + Boring Old Make, without using
QMake at all, might actually be simpler:
There are several ways of building qtshark:
1) Using qtcreator:

2) Using cmake:
set BUILD_qtshark to ON (default: OFF) in CmakeOptions.txt (may be set
in parallel with BUILD_wireshark).
Do the normal out-of-tree or in-tree build.
This has only been tested on a current openSUSE Linux system with fairly
current QT and cmake. It may be necessary to copy the FindQt4.cmake and
supporting files from cmake to Wireshark's cmake/modules/
If using cmake installing qtcreator is not required. Basically almost
all stuff below can be ignored ;-)
Work is in progress on this.)
