Ok, I assume there *could* be a binary (static) lib distributed with Wireshark, so it is not the case apparently. So 
I don't have to search for the problem there. The makefiles refer to "GLIB2_LIBRARIES" I assumed these to be the 
standard library.

They're not.

Wireshark is built with many external libraries:

        1) the "system libraries" - libc on most UN*Xes, libSystem on macOS (just a name difference), and a bunch of 
libraries on Windows;

        2) the Glib libraries from the GTK+ project;

        3) Qt, if the program being built is Wireshark;

        4) various other libraries.

GLIB2_LIBRARIES just refers to the Glib libraries.

So probably I need to add the correct library to "target_link_libraries" (via the *_LIBS var) but which library name 
is it?

Try wsutil.  That's linked with the Winsock libraries on Windows, and most if not all of the *other* extcap programs 
are built with it; it may be required by the common extcap code.
