{{Package-Introduction|Wireshark (formerly named Ethereal) is a versatile network analyzer with an easy to use GUI. It recognizes hundreds of commen network protocols and provides valuable information when investigating network problems.|http://www.wireshark.org/}}

== Dependencies ==

{{Note|If [[libpcap]] is not available, Wireshark will not be able to capture any packets. However, you can still analyze packet dumps that were recorded an a different host.}}

=== Recommended ===
* [[libpcap]]
* [[Gtk2]]

=== Optional ===
* [[MIT_krb5]]
* [[LibGCrypt]]
* [[libsmi]]
* [[Lua]]
* [[net-Snmp]]
* [[OpenSSL]] or [[GnuTLS]]
* [[Pcre]]
* [[PortAudio]]

== Configuration Information ==

{|
|-
|''--enable-static:'' build static libraries (shared libs are built by default)
|-
|''--disable-gtk2:'' use [[Gtk1]] in favor of [[Gtk2]] for GUI
|-
|''--with-lua:'' build [[Lua]] scripting plugin
|-
|''--with-ssl:'' use [[OpenSSL]] crypto library
|-
|''--enable-setuid-install:'' install tshark and dumpcap as setuid
