Trying to build wireshark on my dragonflyBSD laptop with this dragonfly:
DragonFly 4.5-DEVELOPMENT DragonFly v4.5.0.972.g240f0-DEVELOPMENT
I'm on this commit:

In other words, very recent.

What's causing this

DragonFly BSD's <arpa/inet.h> not including <netinet/in.h>.

and what can I do correct it?

Do a "git pull" in your Wireshark tree and rebuild.

It looks as if OS X's <arpa/inet.h> include <netinet/in.h>, but DragonFly BSD's <arpa/inet.h> doesn't.  Presumably the 
Linuxes on which we build also have <arpa/inet.h> including something that eventually causes <netinet/in.h> to be 
included, and whatever is necessary happens on Windows with MSVC's header files as well.

But it's a bug to rely on that, so I've checked in a change to explicitly include <netinet/in.h>.
