Hi Guy,

The commits that you've referred to,

9e4c018e08d5a657f85f0cde0607db0a6d25ddf4
2c52d954d5713be1b809c3b668b0353d2b355c16

Are they present in the master branch on github? I cant seem to find them
in the latest pull from github

Ajays-MacBook-Pro:wireshark ajasaxen$ git show

Also like you have stated, i do have the libraries in the non standard
paths as I installed them using brew. But i did update the PKG_CONFIG_PATH
so that the configure script was able to find these libraries. It was when
i used make that the compilation failed.


I believe I am having issues with the make as I dont have the commits
mentioned above. On a side note is compiling with cmake not recommended due
to some reason?


Thanks,

Ajay


Thanks,
Ajay
