as the problem recently popped up how to load auxillary files in the source directory that have not been installed to their final paths, I've created a patch that will add a fallback directory path to get_datafile_dir. So far get_datafile_dir would check wether some magic variable were set to locate generated (i.e. compiled) stuff inside the build dir instead of the install dir. This patch allows to override this behaviour to search in the specified directory relative to the source dir.So this is for the case where the build directory isn't the source directory, and you want to run Wireshark from the build directory?
Correct. I think I haven't built Wireshark in tree for a few years. Ciao Joerg -- Joerg Mayer <jmayer () loplof de> We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
