Building wireshark-2.4.2 on CentOS 7 (64bit)

Advertisements

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:


sudo yum install libgcrypt-devel qt5-qttools-devel libpcap-devel -y;

Truncated logs:

...
checking for libgcrypt-config... no
checking for LIBGCRYPT - version >= 1.4.2... no
configure: error: libgcrypt not found; install libgcrypt-devel package for your system

checking for pcap.h... no
configure: error: Header file pcap.h not found; if you installed libpcap
from source, did you also do "make install-incl", and if you installed a
binary package of libpcap, is there also a developer's package of libpcap,
and did you also install that package?

[george@CentOS wireshark-2.4.2]$ ./configure --disable-gtk3
