Run ./configure --help to get all relevant options for your build. In your case, specifically look at options like --disable-wireshark.

Already looked at it. A lot of options but poor descriptions =( Have to dig into sources to understand, don't want to spent too much time on it. Thought code maintainers can help.

If you expect more help, you should be able to at least provide the steps you've taken so far and your current results. With so little information provided, what do you really expect?

As for the descriptions of configure --help options, I think they are rather good and for the most part, self-explanatory. If you're having trouble understanding some, then maybe you could inquire about specific options that are causing you confusion. Surely you're not confused by all of them?

don't want to spent too much time on it. Well, if you don't want to spend too much time on it, why should anyone else want to? To quote Jerry Maguire, "Help me [us] help you".

OK, here's a simpler answer:

./configure --disable-wireshark
