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

NOTE: you must install the pkg-config dependency first; unless it is
installed, you cannot configure GLib or GTK+. After that, you must

Ethereal to build with them.

-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 would appear that Mac OS X 10.x 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 for Mac OS X 10.3 through 10.3.2; they
-ships with an 0.6[.x]-derived libpcap that doesn't include
-"pcap_findalldevs()". The problem in those releases 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).
-
-In addition, the Software Update to 10.3.3 and later will update the
-libpcap dylib but not the header files. If systems come pre-installed
-with 10.3.3, they might have the correct header files (and man pages).
-
-As a workaround, install pcap.h and pcap-bpf.h from
-tcpdump.org's libpcap 0.8.1 in "/usr/include".
