T-Shark Cross Compilation issue

["Clint Thomas" <cthomas () Soneticom com>]

Salutations,

I've been making an attempt to cross compile TShark (and dumpcap) for my
PPC 8541 platform, overcoming the slight hurdles that keep presenting
themselves (missing libraries, etc.) My first tries were using the old
stable version (1.0.9), whereupon I ran into a problem regarding the
rdps binary (cross compiled binary wants to execute on my x86 host
machine). This was detailed here

http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev/200905/msg00346.html

 

In another post, somebody mentioned that this problem had been resolved
in the latest version (1.2.2), so I decided to try that. In doing so, I
was able to get most of the way through the compilation process. Here is
the configure options I used in my build.

 

./configure --prefix=/opt/powerpc-85xx-linux/ --host=powerpc-linux
--disable-wireshark --disable-editcap --disable-capinfos
--disable-mergecap --disable-text2pcap --disable-idl2wrs
--disable-dftest --disable-randpkt --disable-rawshark

 

After allowing the compilation process some time to churn, a similar
problem occurred, this time with the lemon executable. Here is the error
I get.

Making all in dfilter

make[3]: Entering directory
`/home/cthomas/Desktop/project/wireshark-1.2.2/epan/dfilter'

../../tools/lemon/lemon t=./../../tools/lemon/lempar.c ./grammar.lemon
|| \

        (rm -f grammar.c grammar.h ; false)

/bin/sh: ../../tools/lemon/lemon: cannot execute binary file

make[3]: *** [grammar.c] Error 1

 

What I'm wondering is, can I disable lemon's execution during the build
process and be safe? Do I need lemon to be on my target platform for
TShark to operate correctly? Or is this just an artifact of the build
process, and I need to change the CC used to build the tool?




Thanks,
Clinton Thomas
