-This file tries to help building Ethereal for Mac OS X (Ethereal does
-not work on earlier versions of Mac OS).
-
-The changes to enable libwiretap and libethereal being built as shared
-libraries have broken shared gtk1 builds on Mac OS X. The GLib 1.x and
-GTK+ 1.x release tarballs were built with an older version of libtool
-that didn't support shared libraries on Mac OS X, so you can't build and
-install them as shared libraries, but the shared-library build of
-Ethereal requires GLib and GTK+, on Mac OS X, to be shared libraries.
-The alternative to build Ethereal as one big statically linked binary
-isn't working either (and may never have worked on this OS).
-
-The way out of this situation is to use gtk2 and associated libraries
-which is known to work in this constellation:
-
- GLib 2.2.3
- Pango 1.2.5
- GTK+ 2.2.3
- ATK 1.2.4
-
-and the corresponding dependencies. In case you also have gtk1 installed,
-you will need to run configure with the "--enable-gtk2" argument.
-
-Another problem are compile errors in the wiretap directory like the
-following:
-pcap-util.c: In function `get_interface_list_findalldevs':
-pcap-util.c:195: error: `pcap_if_t' undeclared (first use in this function)
-
-On first sight, it seems that Mac OS X 10.3.2 ships with a weird version of
-libpcap that includes pcap_findalldevs, but no definition for pcap_if_t.
-As it turns out, this isn't true. 10.3.2 ships with an 0.6[.x]-derived
-libpcap that doesn't include "pcap_findalldevs()". The problem is caused
-by a Security Update - it updates the libpcap dylib to 0.8.1, but doesn't
-update the header files (or the man page - and also doesn't update the
-tcpdump man page to 3.8.1). As a workaround, install pcap.h, pcap-bpf.h
-and pcap-stdinc.h from libpcap 0.8.1 in "/usr/include".
+This file tries to help building Wireshark for macOS (The Operating
+System Formerly Known As Mac OS X And Then OS X) (Wireshark does not
+work on the classic Mac OS).
+
+You must have the developer tools (called Xcode) installed. For
+versions of macOS up to and including Snow Leopard, Xcode 3 should be
+available on the install DVD; Xcode 4 is available for download from
+developer.apple.com and, for Lion and later releases, from the Mac App
+Store. See
+
+ http://guide.macports.org/chunked/installing.xcode.html
+
+for details. For Xcode 4, you will need to install the command-line
+tools; select Preferences from the Xcode menu, select Downloads in the
+Preferences window, and install Command Line Tools.
+
+You must also have GLib and, if you want to build Wireshark as well as
+TShark, you must have also Qt installed. You can download precompiled
+Qt packages and source code from
+
+ https://www.qt.io/download-open-source/
+
+or use the tools/macos-setup.sh script described below.
+
+You should have CMake installed; you can download binary distributions
+for macOS from
+
+ https://cmake.org/download/
+
+The tools/macos-setup.sh script can be used to download, patch as
+necessary, build as necessary, and install those libraries and the
+libraries on which they depend, along with tools such as CMake; it will,
+by default, also install other libraries that can be used by Wireshark
+and TShark. The versions of libraries and tools 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 tools/macos-setup.sh script, and before
+attempting to build Wireshark, make sure your PKG_CONFIG_PATH
+environment variable's setting includes /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig.
+
+The tools/macos-setup.sh script must be run from the top-level source
+directory.
+
+After you have installed those libraries:
+
+ 1. If you have installed Qt into some non-standard place, as is
+ distinctly possible with the build included with
+ macos-setup.sh, you must inform cmake by either including its
+ "bin" directory as part of the PATH environment variable or
+ setting CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to the directory above Qt's "lib"
+ directory. For Qt 5.8 installed into one's home directory,
+ for instance:
+
+ % export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=~/Qt5.8.0/5.8/clang_64
+
+ This step is unnecessary if you've used a recent version of
+ Homebrew, as the CMake build scripts will find Qt.
+
+ 2. Make a directory in which Wireshark is to be built, separate
+ from the top-level source directory for Wireshark - it can be a
+ subdirectory of that top-level source directory;
+
+ 3. cd to that directory, and run CMake, with an argument that is a
+ path to the top-level source directory;
+
+ 4. When CMake finishes, run make to build Wireshark.
+
+For example, to build Wireshark in a subdirectory of the top-level
+source directory, named "build", do, from the top-level source
+directory;
+
+ mkdir build
+ cd build
+ cmake ..
+ make
+
+It is also possible to use the Xcode IDE to build and debug Wireshark
+using cmake's Xcode generator. Create a separate build directory, as
+described above and run cmake with the "-G Xcode" argument to create
+a Xcode project file in the current directory.
+
+ cmake -G Xcode ..
+
+ 1. Double click Wireshark.xcodeproj
+
+ 2. Choose to create schemes manually
+
+ 3. Create a scheme for the ALL_BUILD target
+
+ 4. Edit the scheme, go to the run configuration and select Wireshark.app
+ as executable
+
+If you upgrade the major release of macOS on which you are building
+Wireshark, we advise that, before you do any builds after the upgrade,
+you remove the build directory and all its subdiretories, and repeat the
+above process, re-running CMake and rebuilding from scratch.
+
+On Snow Leopard (10.6) and later releases, if you are building on a
+machine with a 64-bit processor (with the exception of the early Intel
+Core Duo and Intel Core Solo machines, all Apple machines with Intel
+processors have 64-bit processors), the C/C++/Objective-C compiler will
+build 64-bit by default.
+
+This means that you will, by default, get a 64-bit version of Wireshark.
+
+One consequence of this is that, if you built and installed any required
+or optional libraries for Wireshark on an earlier release of macOS, those
+are probably 32-bit versions of the libraries, and you will need to
+un-install them and rebuild them on your current version of macOS, to get
+64-bit versions.
+
+Some required and optional libraries require special attention if you
+install them by building from source code on Snow Leopard and later
+releases; the tools/macos-setup.sh script will handle that for you.
+
+GLib - the GLib configuration script determines whether the system's
+libiconv is GNU iconv or not by checking whether it has libiconv_open(),
+and the compile will fail if that test doesn't correctly indicate
+whether libiconv is GNU iconv. In macOS, libiconv is GNU iconv, but the
+64-bit version doesn't have libiconv_open(); a workaround for this is to
+replace all occurrences of "libiconv_open" with "iconv_open" in the
+configure script before running the script. The tools/macos-setup.sh
+setup script will patch GLib to work around this.
+
+libgcrypt - the libgcrypt configuration script attempts to determine
+which flavor of assembler-language routines to use based on the platform
+type determined by standard autoconf code. That code uses uname to
+determine the processor type; however, in macOS, uname always reports
+"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
+is to run the configure script with the --disable-asm argument, so that
+the assembler-language routines are not used. The tools/macos-setup.sh
+will configure libgcrypt with that option.
+
+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).
