Building wireshark-2.4.2 on CentOS 7 (64bit)
Recently we were trying to compile WireShark from source on a CentOS 7 (64bit) with GTK3 disabled (./configure --disable-gtk3;).
As seen in the truncated logs below we got some errors.
To resolve them we had to install a few packages using yum.
Specifically, our solution involved the installation of the following:
1 | sudo yum install libgcrypt-devel qt5-qttools-devel libpcap-devel -y; |
Truncated logs:
