Traditionally 'sh' (at least the original one) does not like things like:

     export WIRESHARK_RUN_FROM_BUILD_DIRECTORY=

So instead you have to do:

WIRESHARK_RUN_FROM_BUILD_DIRECTORY=
export WIRESHARK_RUN_FROM_BUILD_DIRECTORY

Good thing I asked!  The second way is the way I learned.  Does that way 
work on Solaris /bin/sh even if the first doesn't?

At least I've had that problem on SVR4-derived systems (Solaris).  IIRC 
you usually use FreeBSD so you might have the Almquist Shell[1] which 
might behave differently.

Good memory.. my old (> 15 year) habits of using FreeBSD are hard to 
break :)

Thanks for the reference... I haven't heard the term "ash" shell in 
years!  Sure enough though, that's the one FreeBSD uses: 
/usr/src/bin/sh/TOUR:


                       A Tour through Ash
