Hi All, I am new to wireshark development and this mailing list.
I am porting wireshark to an embedded platform. I managed to cross-compile wireshark (tshark, mainly) and run it on the 32-bit PowerPC target. However, the executables and shared libraries take about 80MB. Please see the file sizes below: dharani$ du -c -B 1024 `find . -type f` 12 ./tshark 948 ./.libs/lt-tshark 77540 ./epan/.libs/libwireshark.so.0.0.1 912 ./wiretap/.libs/libwiretap.so.0.0.1 12 ./test.pcap 76 ./wsutil/.libs/libwsutil.so.0.0.0 *79500 total <<<<----* dharani$ I am trying to reduce the size. I would like to explore various ways like remove support for some protocols (USB, ATM, etc) and do static build, etc. I did see some pointers related to this but it looks like they are outdated. So here are my questions: - Is there an updated patch file for the latest version with which I can remove unwanted protocols from wireshark? If so, I can use it. - Any suggestions on how I can build a static version? Because the shared library takes lot of space and I believe there may be many unwanted functions. Request any pointers/suggestions. Thanks in advance. Regards dharani
