rpm-setup.sh and the other -setup.sh scripts are documented in the Developer's
Guide at
https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChapterSetup.html#ChSetupUNIX
We also use rpm-setup.sh to build the containers used in our CI jobs, which
means that a vast robot army will complain if it doesn't work correctly.
You'll probably have better luck building Wireshark 3.6 on RHEL7. That branch
still has GitLab CI jobs that build and test using CentOS 7, but in the 4.0
branch we bumped a *lot* of required package versions and dropped the CentOS 7
jobs.

Hi,
I actually haven’t run rpm-setup.sh (uh-oh). I was working through the
instructions in the INSTALL file and didn’t realize I should run rpm-setup.sh
first. I think during my web searches I did find mention of that, but I was
already knee deep and wasn’t sure if I should run it after I got started.
Do you recommend I go ahead and run rpm-setup.sh now? That is, before I try to
manually install PCRE2? If that setup script will load all dependencies, that
would be most excellent.
Thank you and regards,

Were there any errors when running tools/rpm-setup.sh?

Hi,
The error is just another missing library:
CMake Error at
/usr/local/share/cmake-3.25/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:230
(message):
Could NOT find PCRE2 (missing: PCRE2_LIBRARY PCRE2_INCLUDE_DIR) (found
version "")
I didn’t want to mention it yet because I haven’t begun my search yet for
the lib or sources. Although, I appreciate your concern and inquisitiveness :)

Can you share your error message? Anything like this:
https://ask.wireshark.org/question/29646/cmake-dependency-failed-for-v40-when-trying-to-build-an-rpm-package-from-a-source-tarball/
<https://ask.wireshark.org/question/29646/cmake-dependency-failed-for-v40-when-trying-to-build-an-rpm-package-from-a-source-tarball/>
"but here I'm using CentOS 7.9 after changed the dependencies in
CMakeLists."
Not sure what the CMakeList changes were.

Hi,
Thank you for the link. I was able to get past the c-ares issue—but
unfortunately, another CMake Error awaits my attention.
Best regards,

Suggestions for work-arounds:

Hi,
I am attempting to compile Wireshark v4.0.2 on a RHEL7 server and
am running into problems. My current issue is that the c-ares library is not
installed on the server. I’ve downloaded the c-ares source code but it seems
my compiler is too old to be able to compile c-ares.
My questions are as follows: Is the “c-ares” library *required* for
the proper compilation of Wireshark? Are there any alternatives to using
c-ares that I may be able to try?
If c-ares is required, then I will try to install a newer version
of the compiler from sources--since our repos do not have anything newer.
Thank you and regards,
