I took the latest source from code.wireshark.org and on compiling I ran
into GeoIP.h error

*packet-ip.c:64:10: **fatal error: **'GeoIP.h' file not found*

#include <GeoIP.h>

*         ^*

In this source, i do have the commit,
2c52d954d5713be1b809c3b668b0353d2b355c16

    Code in epan/dissectors may require GeoIP.h, so include LIBGEOIP_FLAGS.

Are they present in the master branch on github? I cant seem to find
them in the latest pull from github

The *official* Git repository for Wireshark is not on GitHub, it's our own
repository on code.wireshark.org.

Changes to Wireshark get checked into our own repository.  They should,
eventually, get propagated to the GitHub repository, but that doesn't
necessarily happen right after they're committed to the main repository.

I'm not sure why we have a GitHub repository, but I would recommend that
anybody who wants to build from the master branch use the Wireshark
repository, not the GitHub repository, if they can; see

        https://www.wireshark.org/develop.html

Also like you have stated, i do have the libraries in the non standard
paths as I installed them using brew. But i did update the PKG_CONFIG_PATH
so that the configure script was able to find these libraries. It was when
i used make that the compilation failed.

That's because epan/crypt/Makefile.am and epan/developer/Makefile.am were
buggy in our code and failed to include, in the compiling commands, the -I
flags for those packages, as determined by the configure script.  The two
commits in question fix those bugs.

I believe I am having issues with the make as I dont have the commits
mentioned above.

Yes, so you either need to start using the main Wireshark repository or
wait for the changes in question to be propagated to the GitHub repository.

On a side note is compiling with cmake not recommended due to some
reason?

No, you should be able to use either autotools or CMake on UN*Xes.  If one
of them doesn't work, that's probably a bug.
