If you wish to build wireshark from source code keep reading.
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. Install needed dependencies:
2. Download the Wireshark source code using Git, if you haven't done so already,
and cd into that directory.
3. Install needed dependencies:
$ cd $srcdir
$ tools/msys2-setup.sh --install-all
3. Build using CMake + Ninja:
4. Build using CMake + Ninja:
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake -DENABLE_CCACHE=On ..
$ cmake -DENABLE_WERROR=Off ..
$ ninja
$ ninja test # optional
$ ninja install # optional
$ 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. Alternatively you
can also use the PKGBUILD included in the Wireshark distribution.

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 UTF-8 patches[2].
* 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 SDK is not available. AirPcap is EOL and currently there is no plan to
add support for it with MSYS2 builds.
* AirPcap is not available. AirPcap is EOL and currently there is no plan to

* TODO: Add a stand-alone distributable binary installer that can be
deployed outside the MSYS2 environment.
