This file tries to help building Ethereal for Mac OS X (Ethereal does
not work on earlier versions of Mac OS).
+In order to build Ethereal, you must have X11 and the X11 developer
+headers and libraries installed; otherwise, you will not be able to
+build or install GTK+, and will only be able to build Tethereal. The
+X11 and X11 SDK that come with Mac OS X 10.3[.x] are sufficient to build
+and run Ethereal.
+
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
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".
+ GLib 2.4.0
+ Pango 1.4.0
+ GTK+ 2.4.0
+ ATK 1.6.0
+
+and the corresponding dependencies, which you can download from the
+"dependencies" subdirectory of the GTK+ download directory on the GTK+
+FTP site:
+
+ pkg-config
+ jpegsrc
+ libpng
+ tiff
+
+as well as GNU gettext, which isn't included in the directory of
+dependencies on the GTK+ FTP site.
+
+NOTE: you must set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable to include
+"/usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig" (unless you've already set it, set it to
+"/usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig") before running the Pango configuration
+script, so that it can be configured to use the version of fontconfig
+that comes with Mac OS X's X11. This is also needed for the GTK+
+configuration.
+
+NOTE: you must install the pkg-config dependency first; unless it is
+installed, you cannot configure GLib or GTK+. After that, you must
+install GNU gettext; only after both of those have been built and
+installed will you be able to configure GLib. After configuring and
+installing GLib, configure, build, and install Pango, ATK, jpegsrc,
+libpng, tiff, and GTK+, in order. (The exact order might not be
+important, but you must configure, build, and install Pango and ATK
+before configuring GTK+ and, if you want GTK+ to be able to use the
+capabilities from the other libraries, you must configure, build, and
+install them before configuring GTK+.)
+
+You will need to do "make install-lib" for the JPEG library to install
+its libraries - "make install" does not suffice. You will also have to
+do "sudo ranlib /usr/local/lib/libjpeg.a" after "make install-lib".
+
+For libpng, use scripts/makefile.darwin, not scripts/makefile.macosx.
+
+Finally run the configure script. By default it will use
+the Glib2 and GTK+2 libraries. If you run Ethereal's configure script
+with the "--disable-gtk2" argument it'll try to configure with GLib
+1.2[.x] and GTK+ 1.2[.x], in which case:
+
+ if they're not installed, the configure script will fail;
+
+ if they are installed, the configure script will configure
+ Ethereal to build with them.
