build wireshark on linux can't find Qt includes
I need to install wireshark on Ubuntu 16.04, but it appears that there are no binaries for that situation, so I'm forced to build it; that's OK, but having (finally) gotten "configure" to run, when I then run "make" I get "Undefined reference" always to Qt header files. Where is the path to the Qt includes defined? Can I change it? Will that solve the problem?
there are no binaries for that situation? What about this for instance?
For up to date versions that may not be carried in the distro packages, there's also the Wireshark PPA maintained by a member of the Wireshark Core Developer team.
I got a response recently that I appreciate, but they didn't understand that the REASON I need to install wireshark is that the internet is not working on the machine in question (although, oddly, I DO have network access!). That means that "apt-get" does not work! So I have to install using dpkg and ".deb" files. Since there doesn't appear to be a ".deb" file of binaries for Ubuntu 16.04, I'm forced to build it. But then I have the problem with Qt includes! Under Qt I don't see a tools directory and I can't find anything called debian_setup.sh ( or even close). I will try installing an appropriate version of qtools-dev, but I suspect I already have. I do have three versions of Qt on this machine, maybe I should get rid of the others.
Then, instead of taking a path which requires you to install even more development packages, I would suggest getting a installer DVD and install the Wireshark packages from there.
