If you wish to build wireshark from source code keep reading.
|
Instructions for building Wireshark from source code are available in
|
||||||
|
the Wireshark Developer's Guide.
|
||||||
MSYS2 comes with different environments/subsystems and the first thing you
|
|
||||||
have to decide is which one to use. The differences among the environments
|
|
||||||
are mainly environment variables, default compilers/linkers, architecture,
|
|
||||||
system libraries used etc. If you are unsure, go with UCRT64.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
How to build Wireshark from source:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. Open the shell for the selected 64-bit environment.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
2. Download the Wireshark source code using Git, if you haven't done so already,
|
|
||||||
and cd into that directory.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
3. Install needed dependencies:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
$ tools/msys2-setup.sh --install-all
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
4. Build using CMake + Ninja:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
$ mkdir build && cd build
|
|
||||||
$ cmake -DENABLE_WERROR=Off ..
|
|
||||||
$ ninja
|
|
||||||
$ ninja test # optional, to run the test suite
|
|
||||||
$ ninja install # optional, install to the MSYS2 shell path
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The application should be launched using the same shell.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
How to build an NSIS stand-alone binary installer:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. Follow the instructions above to compile Wireshark from source.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
2. Build the Wireshark User Guide.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
$ ninja user_guide_html
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
3. Download Npcap and USBpcap and copy them to ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/packaging/nsis.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
4. Build the installer
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
$ ninja wireshark_nsis_prep
|
|
||||||
$ ninja wireshark_nsis
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If successful the installer can be found in ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/packaging/nsis.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Alternatively you can also use the PKGBUILD included in the Wireshark
|
|
||||||
source distribution to compile Wireshark into a binary package that can be
|
|
||||||
installed using pacman[3].
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The official Wireshark Windows installer is compiled using Microsoft Visual
|
|
||||||
Studio (MSVC). Currently the MSYS2 build has the following limitations compared to
|
|
||||||
the build using 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 custom UTF-8 patches[2].
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* Enhanced Kerberos dissection with decryption is not available.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* AirPcap is not available. AirPcap is EOL and currently there is no plan to
|
|
||||||
add support for it with MinGW-w64 builds.
