This file tries to help building Wireshark for (Mac) OS X (Wireshark
does not work on earlier versions of Mac OS).

+Preferences window, and install Command Line Tools.

+TShark, you must have also Qt installed. You can download precompiled
+Qt packages and source code from

+
+or use the macosx-setup.sh script described below.
+
+The macosx-setup.sh script can be used to download, patch as necessary,
+build, and install those libraries and the libraries on which they
+depend; it will, by default, also install other libraries that can be
+used by Wireshark and TShark. The versions of libraries to download are
+specified by variables set early in the script; you can comment out the
+settings of optional libraries if you don't want them downloaded and
+installed. Before running the macosx-setup.sh script, and before
+attempting to build Wireshark, make sure your PKG_CONFIG_PATH
+environment variable's setting includes both /usr/X11/lib/pkgconfig and
+/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig.

+GTK+. The X11 and X11 SDK that come with OS X releases for releases
+from Panther to Lion can be used to build and run Wireshark. Mountain
+Lion and later do not include X11; you should install X11 from

"i386" as the processor type on Intel machines, even Intel machines with
64-bit processors, so it will attempt to assemble the 32-bit x86
assembler-language routines, which will fail. The workaround for this
represented by an ISO 8859-1 copyright symbol, as it's not a valid UTF-8
sequence. The macosx-setup.sh script uses iconv to convert the man page
files from ISO 8859-1 to UTF-8.

+If you want to build Wireshark installer packages on a system that
+doesn't include Xcode 3.x or earlier, you will need to install some
+additional tools. From the Xcode menu, select the Open Developer Tool
+menu, and then select More Developer Tools... from that menu. That will
+open up a page on the Apple Developer Connection Web site; you may need
+a developer account to download the additional tools. Download the
+Auxiliary Tools for Xcode package; when the dmg opens, drag all its
+contents to the Contents/Applications subdirectory of the Xcode.app
+directory (normally /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Applications); then
+copy .../Contents/Applications/PackageMaker.app/Contents/MacOS/PackageMaker
+to /usr/bin/packagemaker (the PackageMaker app, when run from the
+command line rather than as a double-clicked app, is the packagemaker
+command).
