Well, this seems perfectly normal to me. make command allows you to compile
the program (needed only once after each source code change), and
./wireshark allows you to run the program (can be run multiple times once
the program is compiled). So far so good.
If you want to launch automatically Wireshark after compiling it, I suggest
you to create a small shell script that will run both commands (make &&
./wireshark).
Regarding the best practice for debugging Wireshark, I recommend you to
read this wiki page: https://wiki.wireshark.org/Development/Tips

Have fun,
Pascal.
