I want to build Wireshark 1.8.1 from the source-code, but I get an error on gcc stating "#error "Please use <stdarg.h> instead of <varargs.h>" Is there some way to maneuver through this?
Yes. First, make sure your system has a stdarg.h header. (stdarg.h first appeared in C89, so only a system with a *VERY* out-of-date C compilation environment wouldn't have one.) Then: if you configured by running the configure script: do "make distclean"; re-run the configure script, and capture its output into a file, e.g. "./configure 2>&1 | tee config.out" for a Bourne-compatible shell; check the configure output file to make sure the configure script found stdarg.h; if not, look in the config.log file to see *why* it didn't find stdarg.h, and fix that problem; if you configured by using CMake: remove the build directory in which you ran CMake; re-run CMake, and capture its output into a file check the configure output file to make sure CMake found stdarg.h; if not, look in what error file CMake also generated to see *why* it didn't find stdarg.h, and fix that problem. ___________________________________________________________________________ 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
