Hey all, recently upgrade my mac to Sierra and tried to revive my
wireshark build environment. I got it compiling (out-of-tree cmake)
and most of the tools (tshark) etc seem to work, but:

$ ./run/wireshark
Listening on en0
155 packets seen, 155 packets counted after pcap_dispatch returns
...

No UI ever opens. I have Qt5 installed, and I checked my
CmakeCache.txt and it is detected and building the UI module
(BUILD_wireshark:BOOL=ON). The other weird part is:

$ ./run/wireshark -h
Usage: Wireshark [ -mn ] [ -i interface ] [ -t timeout] [expression]

That's *all* it outputs. I have to assume that some other binary is
being linked on top of the wireshark binary (tshark et al seem
unaffected) but I don't recognize that option set.

Any ideas? Has anybody seen this before?

Weird. ./run/wireshark should be a shell script generated by CMakeLists.txt
that execs run/Wireshark.app/Contents/MacOS/Wireshark.

...and that's not Wireshark's "invalid command-line argument" error message.

So what does "file run/wireshark" print?

And if it's a shell script, what does it contain?

`run/wireshark` is a shell script pointing to
`./run/Wireshark.app/Contents/MacOS/Wireshark` the way it should. That
file is a Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64. Running that file directly
has the same issues, so I suppose something is overwriting it or
mis-linking it or something.
