The extcap subsystem and the bundled extcaps are compiled by default.
Additionally there is an example python script available in doc/extcap_example.py.

-When you want to investigate a problem with Wireshark you want to load
-the program into your debugger. But loading wireshark into debugger fails
-because of the libtool build environment. You'll have to wrap loading
-wireshark into a libtool command:
-
-[source,sh]
-----
-$ libtool --mode=execute gdb wireshark

-If you prefer a graphic debugger you can use the Data Display Debugger
-(ddd) instead of GNU debugger (gdb).
+You can debug using command-line debuggers such as gdb, dbx, or lldb.

Additional traps can be set on GLib by setting the `G_DEBUG` environment variable:
[source,sh]

-$ G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals libtool --mode=execute ddd wireshark
+$ G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals ddd wireshark
