Re: Installing on Ubuntu 12.04.5

[Robert Cragie <robert.cragie () gridmerge com>]

These are notes I took when building for Linux (Ubuntu):

Get all the tools (if not already installed):

sudo apt-get install <tool>


   - git
   - autoconf
   - automake
   - libtool
   - bison
   - flex
   - qt-sdk
   - libgtk-3-dev
   - libpcap-dev


Then:

git clone https://code.wireshark.org/review/wireshark
./autogen.sh
./configure
make

The resulting file is called wireshark - this is Qt build presumably. There
is also wireshark-gtk.
