If it's from a git checkout, what happens if you do a "make maintainer-clean", a "./autogen.sh", and then a >"./configure"?It's from an svn clone of the old svn repo kept up to date with the latest git version. I did check a fresh svn checkout. I could try to build the standard Wireshark From trunk.Probably related to https://code.wireshark.org/review/#/c/23329/. The problem still needs to be investigated, the autoconf macro is complex and impossible to test for all platforms and libpcap versions.
The comment in your change says # We have pcap-config; we assume that means we have libpcap # installed and that pcap-config will tell us whatever # libraries libpcap needs. As the creator of pcap-config, I can state unequivocally that if that assumption is incorrect, that would indicate that the pcap-config on the machine in question is buggy. Whether the bug is the fault of tcpdump.org or of the platform on the machine is another matter. Anders, what does running pcap-config --libs and pcap-config --libs --static on the SuSE and Ubuntu machines print? On SuSE:
pcap-config --libs
If 'pcap-config' is not a typo you can run the following command to lookup the package that contains the binary: command-not-found pcap-config On Ubuntu 14.04 $ pcap-config --libs -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -lpcap $ pcap-config --libs --static -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -lpcap Regards Anders ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://www.wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://www.wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
