This is an article about compilation of Wireshark on Windows 7 (Ultimate SP1) and the issues I faced apart from standard documented procedure listed on Wireshark website.
A Summary about my development environment
Other Tools: Python 2.7, Cygwin, Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2012 for Desktop and Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7, Tortoise SVN
Reference Guide for compiling wireshark
http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSetupWin32.html
Pre-requisite Software requirements
- Install ‘Microsoft Visual Studion Express 2012 for Desktop‘ from Microsoft website
- Install ‘Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 3.5 (SP1)‘. I chose to opt out installation of .NET components due to space constraints.
- Installation of Cygwin (I don’t remember if it was with default installation options or will full but recommend to install all of it)
- Install Python 2.7 . I first installed version 3.4 but it did not go well with wireshark compilation.
- Install Torotoise SVN
Compilation Steps
- Download Wireshark Source
- Configure config.nmake
- Create Compilation environment
a. Start ‘VS Express for Destop‘ and go to ‘Tools‘ -> ‘External Tools‘ and add following details in the ‘External Tools‘ Window:
Title Wireshark Env
Command C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe
Arguments /k “c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat”
Initial Directory C:\wireshark
b. Click on ‘Add‘ button to add it permanently. Now, this command will be visible in ‘Tools‘ menu as ‘Wireshark Env‘
c. Now click on ‘Tools‘ -> ‘Wireshark Env‘ to start ‘cmd.exe‘ with its compilation environment set.
d. For compilation, a file ‘win32.mak‘ is required, so set the following INCLUDE path in the cmd.exe.
set INCLUDE=%INCLUDE%;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\include;
This should avoid getting the following error afterwards.
- Compilation
> nmake -f Makefile.nmake verify_tools
If you get any errors in the output, please ensure you set the compilation environment correctly. The correct output is given below:
Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 11.00.50727.1

b. Install the required libraries
> nmake -f Makefile.nmake setup
c. Cleanup the sources
> nmake -f Makefile.nmake distclean
d. Build Wireshark
> nmake -f Makefile.nmake all
Compilation takes few minutes and if it is successful, you should get wireshark exectuable file at ‘C:\wireshark\wireshark-gtk2‘.
NOTE
a. If you face any compilation error and make any correction in any file (configs, env etc), please ensure the ‘Cleanup the sources’ (point c) before building it again.
b. If the compilation breaks in between due to linking errors (unresolved symbols), try to find one of those symbols in C:\wireshark directory.
There are some source files that are generated during compilation and the makefiles are written in a manner to create empty source files if they encounter any error. This might be helpful in continuing the compilation to subsequent files but it ultimately breaks during linking process and hence finding the actual cause of linking error complex.
If that symbol happens to be in a file for which an empty source file is present, make sure to delete that file manually otherwise a new file will not be generated.
d. Run Wireshark
> C:\wireshark\wireshark-gtk2\wireshark.exe

I followed the "Win32/64: Step-by-Step Guide" But i get stuck at the point where i have to call "nmake" with "verify_tools" It gives me following result when i run it: I inserted a "printf" into the "win32-setup.sh" to see the content of "WIN_SETUP" win32-setup.sh looks like this then: Up in the result you can see "><". That means the "WIN_SETUP" is quite empty. Don't know exactly if that is the problem or why is empty. I don't know anymore how to fix that after hours of searching and investigating. I would really appreciate if someone could help me with that issue. Thanks in advance. Gerald |

OK, I've take the path you posted, split it at the separator ":", and then sorted it. There may be the odd extra space due to formatting, cut and paste etc, but I think it shows you have an extraordinarily complicated path IMHO, with a fair amount of dupes: Can you please open a Visual Studio Command Prompt (found in the Start Menu under Visual Studio), x64 or x86 it doesn't really matter, and then execute `echo %PATH% > %TEMP%\mypath.txt, and then post the contents of that file as a comment. |

First:
Given that you're running om WIN64, I would have expected that win64-setup.sh would have been called, not win32-setup.sh.
Are you using the 64-bit compiler (or the 32 bit) ?
Are you explicitly trying to build a win32 version by doing:
Please try doing the following (instead of the call to setenv). which I think should automatically set things up to do a win64 (or win32) build (depending upon which compiler you are using).
64 bit compiler:
If you are actually using the 32-bit compiler then replace
x64byx86.(I'll spend a bit more time tomorrow looking at the instructions in the Developer's Guide to see if any changes are needed...)
If you still get the same error, then please do the following (presumably now in the win64-setup.sh)
Please add the following before the WIN_SETUP=... and let us know the output.
(Note that a ',' should not be put between the format and the arg(s) in the printf).
First of all... Thanks a lot for spending your time on my case.
I had set the compiler to x86 because at the beginning I tried with x64 and didn't work. So i thought it maybe works with x86 but i was wrong.
The path you mentioned => "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Bin\SetEnv.Cmd" doesn't exist on my machine.
As you recommended, I called again "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\Vcvarsall.bat x64"
Now gets called the "win64-setup.sh". I inserted the code you gave me into the "win64-setup.sh" file.
Now it shows an additional error: Can't find Qt. .....
Below i copied you the command line output:

.
Seems it gets called 2 times, so i deleted the second result of "Echo $Path" to prevent posting redundant text because it is quite long.
Hope you can find out something. Otherwise I'll have to try it on a different machine praying to have more luck there.
Thanks a lot for your effort.
