Re: how to cross-compile tshark and tools

BTW, it appears that this has come up before in the past (2009):
https://$1.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-users/200910/msg00123.html

but it doesn't seem like a resolution was made.. but this post has a
short-term workaround:

I am going to try this out, the original poster never got back with whether
this worked or not.
