At least these fixes are needed to fix the build: https://code.wireshark.org/review/10916 https://code.wireshark.org/review/11041
Funny, I actually didn't have any problems (once I updated my (customized) RPM spec file with some of the changes from master). But rpmbuild is using autotools and building from the source tarball.
Speaking of bumping library versions, can we also bump the glib and libgcrypt versions? Current versions are glib 2.14 and libgcrypt 1.1.92. If we could go to glib 2.28 (Feb 2011) and gcrypt 1.5.0 (Jun 2011), it would enable us to use newer functions such as g_list_free_full.The glib change is OK for me (for RHEL 6) but it does appear to mean we'd lose support for all SLES versions; I'd tend to think that would be a bad thing.I made a mistake, SLES 12 includes glib2 2.38.2, the wiki is now updated to reflect that. For now the minimum gcrypt version is 1.4.2 (https://code.wireshark.org/review/11043).
So bumping the glib version means we'd lose SLES 11. Given how recent (for an enterprise version) SLES 12 is I'd guess there are still a lot of SLES 11 users out there.
