Re: OSX build fails

[Roland Knall <rknall () gmail com>]

Might be a stupid question but on my account, only Linux machines are now
capable of building Wireshark out of the box with autotools on default,
right?

Windows could not anyway, and with this dependency macOS X fails as well.
Beside the obvious esoteric options (Solaris, ...) this leaves CMake as the
only viable option for about 95% of all build scenarios.

Is there a technical reason, e.g. something that CMake can't do, to still
support it? I am not speaking out in favor of removal, just wondering aloud.

cheers
Roland
