My main intent here is to just share the dependencies needed to get Wireshark 3.0.1 compiled because otherwise you’re going to be running the ninja/make commands, get the dependency error message, Google the dependency package for Ubuntu, install it, then find the next one over and over again - if only someone just posted the dependencies! Compiling and Installing Wireshark 3.0.1 for Ubuntu 18.04įirst off, Wireshark is a complicated application, and I am not a developer, so my instructions here are likely flawed. I’m going to quit yapping about this now and just get to the point. Of course, you could just fire up a VM on your laptop and run Windows, or grab that random spare Mac in your bag - why you have a spare Mac in your bag is beyond me - but your only option is to compile from source the Wireshark package. Now for probably really good reasons, there still isn’t a Wireshark 3.0.1 deb package for Debian-Ubuntu distributions, and if you just so happen to be at Sharkfest 2019 running some flavor of Debian/Ubuntu and you’re taking the packet analysis classes, you need to be running Wireshark 3.0.1. While Fedora 30 is running Wireshark 3.0.1, even Ubuntu 19.10 (Eoan) is still running Wireshark 2.6.9-1 (again at the time of writing this). If you’re doing packet analysis and run Debian/Ubuntu, you may have noticed that Wireshark is currently at version 3.0.2 (at the time of writing this), but both Debian and Ubuntu are running 2.6.x versions of Wireshark ( Debian Stretch is at 2.6.7-1, and Ubuntu 18.04 is at 2.6.8-1). Hint: in the Wireshark tarball, look at the ‘INSTALL’ file.) I’ve found a new method that I’m going to make a new post for. (UPDATE 20190611: This method below is a bit clunky and causes quite a few issues that are unnecessary. Wireshark is actually built correctly and will even capture packets (unlike these instructions)). (UPDATE 20190619: There are better instructions in a new post I made.
