usbpcap cannot be found after the wireshark4.0.10 source code is compiled.

asked 2023-11-15 02:52:00 +0000

In the cmakelists.txt file of the wireshark4.0.10 source code, there is no relevant option for USBPCAP, indicating that USBPCAP is not enabled by default. If it needs to be enabled by default, how should it be implemented and how should the relevant compiled files be modified?

No, it indicates that USBPcap is a third-party product that is bundled with Wireshark's Windows installer, rather than being part of the Wireshark project.

Therefore, there is no way to enable it when building Wireshark.

It cannot be enabled, and it's not compiled as part of the process of building Wireshark.

At a minimum, the USBPcapCMD.exe file must be installed in the "extcap" subdirectory directory of whatever directory contains the Wireshark executable. You might be able to do ...(more)
