- <title>Introduction</title>
- <para>
- Several libraries are needed to build / run Ethereal. Most of the
- libraries are splitted into three packages:
- <orderedlist>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- Runtime package: binaries (e.g. win32 DLL's) and alike
- </para>
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- Developer package: documentation, header files and alike
- </para>
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- Source package: library sources, usually not required to
- build ethereal
- </para>
- </listitem>
- </orderedlist>
- <tip><title>Tip!</title>
- <para>
- Win32: All required libraries for the MSVC
- generation are available at:
- <ulink url="http://www.wireshark.org/distribution/win32/development/"/>,
- but see <xref linkend="ChLibsSetup"/> for an easier way to install the
- libraries.
- </para>
- </tip>
- </para>
- </section>
-
- <section id="ChLibsFormat">
- <title>Binary library formats</title>
- <para>
- Binary libraries are available in different formats, depending on the C
- compiler (see <xref linkend="ChToolsCompiler"/>) used to build it and of
- course the platform they were build for.
- </para>
-
- <section id="ChLibsFormatUnix">
- <title>Unix</title>
- <para>
- If you have installed unix binary libraries on your system, they will
- match the C compiler. If not already installed, the libraries should be
- available as a package from the platform installer, or you can download
- and compile the source and install that binaries then.
- </para>
- </section>
-
- <section id="ChLibsFormatWin32MSVC6">
- <title>Win32: MSVC V6</title>
- <para>
- Recommended for current Win32 Ethereal releases.
- Most of the Win32 binary libraries you will find on the web are in this
- format. You will recognize MSVC libraries by the .lib/.dll file extension.
- </para>
- </section>
-
- <section id="ChLibsFormatWin32MSVC2003">
- <title>Win32: MSVC 2003</title>
- <para>
- Currently not widely available, but the first libraries in that format can
- be seen on the web. These libraries have the same .lib/.dll file
- extension, but unfortunately they are not completely compatible as they
- are linked with different dependant libraries, see <xref
- linkend="ChToolsCompiler"/> for some further explanations.
- </para>
- </section>
-
- <section id="ChLibsFormatWin32Cygwin">
- <title>Win32: cygwin gcc</title>
- <para>
- Cygwin provides most of the required libraries (with file extension .a/.lib)
- for Wireshark suitable for cygwin's gcc compiler.
- </para>
- </section>
- </section>

- <section id="ChLibsSetup">
- <title>Win32: Automated library download</title>
- <para>
- You can download/install all required libraries by using the setup target
- of the <filename>Makefile.nmake</filename> from the source package.
- </para>
- <tip><title>Tip!</title>
- <para>
- It's a really good idea to use the Win32 automated library download to
- install the required libraries as it makes this download very easy.
- </para>
- </tip>
- <note><title>Note!</title>
- <para>
- Before you start the download, you must have installed both
- the required tools (see <xref linkend="ChapterTools"/>) and also the
- Ethereal sources (see <xref linkend="ChSrcObtain"/>).
- </para>
- </note>
- <para>
- By default the libraries will be downloaded and installed into
- <filename>C:\wireshark-win32-libs</filename>.
- You can change this to any other location by editing the file
- <filename>config.nmake</filename> and changing the line containing
- the WIRESHARK_LIBS setting to your favourite place (use an absolute path
- here).
- </para>
- <para>
- Then enter at the command line:
- </para>
- <para>
- <prompt>></prompt> <userinput>nmake -f Makefile.nmake setup</userinput>
- </para>
- <para>
- This will first check for all the various tools needed to build Ethereal,
- as described already in <xref linkend="ChToolsWin32Verify"/>.
- </para>
- <para>
- Then it will download the zipped libraries into the directory specified by
- WIRESHARK_LIBS and install (unzip) all required library files there.
- </para>
- <para>
- If you have problems downloading the library files, see the wget proxy
- comment in <xref linkend="ChToolsWget"/>.
- </para>
-
- <section id="ChLibsSetupUpdate">
- <title>Update of a previous download</title>
- <para>
- As new versions of the libraries become available, maybe with bugfixes or
- some new functionality, your libraries get outdated.
- </para>
- <para>
- You could simply remove everything in the WIRESHARK_LIBS dir and call the
- setup target again, but that would require to download every file again
- (currently about 33MB), which isn't necessary.
- </para>
- <para>
- The following will bring your libraries up to date:
- </para>
- <itemizedlist>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- Update your Ethereal sources to the latest SVN files (see <xref
- linkend="ChSrcObtain"/>), so the zip filenames in the setup target
- of Makefile.nmake is in sync with the library zip files on the server.
- </para>
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- Remove all files previously unzipped from the downloaded files in your
- WIRESHARK_LIBS library path (all the subdirs, e.g.
- <filename>c:\ethereal_libs\gtk+</filename>),
- except for the zip files located at the toplevel, which are the files
- downloaded the last time(s). You could do this, be entering at the command line:
- </para>
- <para>
- <prompt>></prompt> <userinput>nmake -f Makefile.nmake clean_setup</userinput>
- </para>
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- Start the setup target described above. As wget will download only the
- missing files, existing zip files in the WIRESHARK_LIBS dir won't be
- downloaded again. Remaining (outdated) zip files shouldn't do any harm.
- </para>
- </listitem>
- </itemizedlist>

- <section id="ChLibsGtk">
- <title>GTK+ / GLib / GDK / Pango / ATK / GNU gettext / GNU libiconv</title>
- <para>
- The Glib library is used as a basic platform abstraction library, it's
- not related to graphical user interface (GUI) things. For a detailed
- description about GLib, see <xref linkend="ChCodeGLib"/>.
- </para>
- <para>
- The GTK and it's dependant libraries are used to build Ethereal's GUI.
- For a detailed description of the GTK libraries, see <xref
- linkend="ChUIGTK"/>.
- </para>
- <para>
- All other libraries are dependant on the two libraries mentioned above,
- you will typically not come in touch with these while doing Ethereal
- development.
- </para>
- <para>
- As the requirements for the GLib/GTK libraries increased in the past, it
- depends on the GLib/GTK versions you have, which additional libraries are
- required. The 1.x versions only needed GLib/GDK/GTK+, while the 2.x
- versions require all mentioned libs.
- </para>
