After the download I read that we need to build the source in our machine ( I am using Ubuntu 13.04 64bit OS). Building is necessary before modifying the source?
Not as far as I know. What did you read that indicates that you need to build Wireshark before modifying the source?
For giving it a try, I started building the components. Unfortunately the building process showed some errors due to the missing packages like libtool, automake, autoconf. I fixed those missing dependencies, and then I came across another missing package named "QT". Here is my stdout checking if profile builds must be generated... no checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config checking for Qt5Core - version >= 4.6.0... no checking for QtCore - version >= 4.6.0... no configure: error: Qt is not available I installed QT 5 which is greater than version 4.6, from this link http://qt-project.org/downloads . But still I am not able to rebuild the source, it pops out the same error again and again.
Have you installed the Qt *developer* package? Linux distributions, and possibly other OSes, may have separate "run-time" and "developer" packages for various libraries and frameworks; the "run-time" package contains what's sufficient to allow binary programs that use the library or framework to run, but *not* what's sufficient to allow you to *compile* programs that use the library or framework, so, to compile those programs, you need to install the "developer" package.) ___________________________________________________________________________ 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
