Hi,

Maybe buildroot can give some inspiration:

Thanks,

Hi,

I’m trying to create an OpenWrt package for Wireshark.

I think I’m pretty close. However, I got stuck at lemon, which if I’m not wrong, should be compiled by my build 
machine’s compiler. From the source code, I found out it supports the LEMON_C_COMPILER variable, which I assigned 
with the build machine’s compiler, but after compiling, CMAKE used the target platform’s linking flags for linking, 
which apparently failed. I’m not very familiar with CMAKE, so would appreciate some help.

Cross-compiling has cropped up here a few times in the past decades, but the ones I managed to find are all 
pertaining to Wireshark’s autotools era, so they’re not particularly helpful, at least for my limited knowledge in 
this area.

Here is the OpenWrt package’s Makefile I have come up with so far:

include $(TOPDIR)/rules.mk

PKG_NAME:=wireshark
PKG_VERSION:=3.6.1
PKG_RELEASE:=1

PKG_SOURCE_URL:=https://www.wireshark.org/download/src/
PKG_SOURCE:=wireshark-$(PKG_VERSION).tar.xz
PKG_HASH:=0434eda8fb6bf88e2b42a67eb5d1de254a67d505bec3bb51fee9d7cad7925a38

PKG_BUILD_PARALLEL:=1
CMAKE_INSTALL:=1

include $(INCLUDE_DIR)/package.mk
include $(INCLUDE_DIR)/cmake.mk

define Package/wireshark
 SECTION:=net
 CATEGORY:=Network
 TITLE:=Network protocol analyzer
 URL:=https://www.wireshark.org/
 DEPENDS:=+libpcap +glib2 +libgcrypt +libcares
endef

define Package/wireshark/description
       Network protocol analyzer
endef

CMAKE_OPTIONS += \
       -DCMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING=1 \
       -DHAVE_C99_VSNPRINTF=TRUE \
       -DLEMON_C_COMPILER=$(CMAKE_HOST_C_COMPILER) \
       -DBUILD_wireshark=OFF \
       -DBUILD_androiddump=OFF \
       -DBUILD_ciscodump=OFF \
       -DBUILD_idl2wrs=OFF

define Package/wireshark/install
       # figure out later
endef

$(eval $(call BuildPackage,wireshark))
