cmake dependency failed for v4.0 when trying to build an RPM package from a source tarball
Hi, I'm trying to create a rpm file Wireshark v4.0.0 On CentOs7.9 using ninja the same way as for previous versions:
Running this command from an empty created 'build' directory: cmake3 -G Ninja -DBUILD_wireshark=OFF -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..
Running 'ninja wireshark_rpm' (in older versions 'ninja rpm_package')
got this error: The build system cannot produce a source tarball outside of a git repository. If you are trying to build an RPM package from source extracted from a tarball, copy it (i.e., wireshark-4.0.0.tar.xz) to wireshark/build and run the build command again.
-> in order to fix it I created a tar with 'tar -czvf *' to all the wireshark dir and copied it to 'build' directory but then got this one:
xzcat: build/wireshark-4.0.0.tar.xz: File format not recognized fatal: git get-tar-commit-id: EOF before reading tar header: No such file or directory
and a few lines after: or: Failed build dependencies: cmake >= 3.10 is needed by wireshark-4.0.0-1.x86_64
although I am running cmake version 3.24.3
Can someone please advice? Thanks in advance.
What does the command
cmake --version- notcmake3 --version,cmake --versionwithout the "3" - print?Result:
So, have you tried
cmake, rather thencmake3, in your build command?yes... got the same result
any other suggestions?
Where did you get the Wireshark source?
Did you clone the Wireshark Git repository?
Did you download a source tar file?
Or did you do something else?
Hey Guy, I downloaded the source tar file, then merged my company's changes (dissectors etc.) to the source, cherrypicked and solved conflicts. Did exactly the same for 3.2.5 and 3.4.6 (but here I'm using CentOS 7.9 after changed the dependencies in CMakeLists.
