On Debian/Ubuntu it is as easy as "apt-get build-dep wireshark".Speaking of automated build setups: A quick look at the DNF man page on Fedora 23 doesn't seem to indicate that there's any equivalent to build-dep, i.e. nothing to find out what are the *source* packages for the dependencies of a binary package, and installing *them*. For RPM, is there not a way to say "what packages are required to build this possibly-not-installed package?" ("Possibly-not-installed" is significant here - somebody might not have Wireshark installed from the repository, and might want to build it from source without having to build and install all its dependencies from source.) I.e., for a package in the repository (whether it's installed or not), what packages are mentioned in the BuildRequires entries for that package?Actually, that's *not* necessarily what we want; what we *really* want is probably "what packages are mentioned in the BuildRequires entries in the packaging/rpm/SPECS/wireshark.spec.in file in the Wireshark source directory?", as the packaged Wireshark for your OS might require different packages from what the Wireshark source you're trying to build does (for example, if the packaged Wireshark uses GTK+ but you want to build a 2.x release). That would require the ability to parse an RPM spec file - and to expand some or all of @AC_MIN_VERSION@, @GLIB_MIN_VERSION@, @QT_MIN_VERSION@, @GTK3_MIN_VERSION@, and @GTK2_MIN_VERSION@ without having the autotools installed, as the point of that setup is to install stuff automatically, including the autotools.
For a CentOS6 VM I used tools/install_rpms_for_devel.sh to find dependencies, that was mostly sufficient for me. There are some other deps that were not installed though, but cmake warned me about it. Those extra packages (for GTK+ 2) are: portaudio-devel libnl3-devel krb5-devel geoip-devel libcap-devel gnutls-devel on top of: yum -y install autoconf automake libtool gcc flex bison python perl \ glib2-devel libpcap-devel zlib-devel lua-devel c-ares-devel \ gtk3-devel gtk2-devel qt-devel gcc-c++ fop asciidoc git I also had to install epel-release for something (bash-completion), maybe it was also needed for one of the above packages. Usage of "apt-get build-dep" relied on the existing packaging of Debian. That is a good start to discover most dependencies, if there is anything missing (libssh), it is reported during the cmake/configure step. I guess something like this also applies to RPM (though distro-supplied RPM packages packages seem really ancient, at least for Cent OS). -- Kind regards, Peter Wu https://lekensteyn.nl ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
