This document contains instructions to build and install Wireshark on Windows
|
|
using GCC and MinGW-w64 with the MSYS2 distribution.
|
|
|
|
How to setup MSYS2:
|
|
|
|
1. Download and install MSYS2 from https://www.msys2.org.
|
|
|
|
2. Open the MSYS shell.
|
|
|
|
3. Update with "pacman -Syu" as many times as necessary. You also need to
|
|
have base-devel installed:
|
|
|
|
$ pacman -S base-devel.
|
|
|
|
How to build the Wireshark MSYS2 package:
|
|
|
|
1. Open the UCRT64 shell.
|
|
|
|
2. (Optional) Build and install some missing dependencies in the MSYS2 repository.
|
|
|
|
$ cd $srcdir/packaging/msys2/mingw-w64-bcg729
|
|
$ makepkg-mingw -si
|
|
|
|
$ cd $srcdir/packaging/msys2/mingw-w64-libsmi
|
|
$ makepkg-mingw -si
|
|
|
|
$ cd $srcdir/packaging/msys2/mingw-w64-sbc
|
|
$ makepkg-mingw -si
|
|
|
|
3. Build and install Wireshark
|
|
|
|
$ cd $srcdir/packaging/msys2/mingw-w64-wireshark-git
|
|
$ makepkg-mingw -si
|
|
|
|
The application should be launched using the same shell (UCRT64 in this case).
|
|
|
|
Currently the MSYS2 build has the following limitations compared to
|
|
the build using Visual Studio (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[1].
|
|
|
|
* Kerberos dependency for enhanced Kerberos dissection is not available
|
|
in the repositories.
|
|
|
|
* AirPcap is not available and there is no plan to support it.
|
|
|
|
* There is currently no way to build a stand-alone distributable binary
|
|
installer, similar to the Wireshark NSIS installer using MSVC.
