Hello, I build wireshark from source and installed it on /usr/local. But the header files which I need for development were not installed in /usr/local/include. How to do that ?

What header files? What OS\Distribution?

Os: Linux ( Fedora) Headerfiles:

  • wireshark/epan/packet.h
  • wireshark/epan/proto.h
  • wireshark/epan/tvbuff.h
  • wireshark/config.h
  • ...

Those are the Wireshark headers from the source tree. I'm not an expert on Linux builds, but I don't think there is a wireshark-dev type install as such. All development of wireshark and associated parts (e.g. dissectors, plugins) is carried out from within a copy of the source tree.

What exactly are you trying to do?

I want to fix the isotp-15765-2 dissector: - Only Normal and Extended Adress mode is implemented. Fixed and Mixed are not implemented - the extended Byte is not shown - FC-Frame: the stmin is not tranlated into usec only msec - FC-Frame: Status is only shown as a byte not the meaning - CAN-FD can also be valid with 4095 byte length message - format - ... and maybe some more to improve ...

You need to install the full source, all the required dependencies and then build from the source directories. There is no "dev" version where you just get some headers and libraries and can build the dissector in isolation.

When I install wireshark in my Fedora then there exists a package named wireshark-cli, wireshark, wireshark-devel. How are these packages created ? By Fedora itself ?

The RPM's are create by others outside of the Wireshark project. The wireshark-devel package appears to be a snapshot of all the headers from the Wireshark source tree but to what end I don't know. There's no recipe I'm aware of to build a dissector given these headers.

To build Wireshark from source, follow the instructions in the Developers Guide.
