--- Building


>-> Get dependencies.
Last time I checked, this is all you need from a bare debian-based system.
sudo apt-get install build-essential bison flex \
                  libgtk2.0-dev libpcap-dev \
                  libxml2-dev cmake

You may want to get Wireshark too.
                  apt-get install wireshark

These are pretty much the same packages you'll need for Fedora
sudo yum install build-essential bison flex \
                  glib2-devel libpcap-devel \
                  libxml2-devel cmake \
                  gtk+

>-> Setup Wireshark source.
Download the Wireshark source and move it to ../wireshark relative to this
directory. Next, build you need to generate a correct config.h from the
Wireshark source directory.
  ./configure

>-> Build and install.
Run the install scrip located in $HOME/.wireshark/plugins.
  ./install.sh


>-> Fix your permissions.
On Ubuntu, and other Debian-based systems I assume, this must be done to allow
a user to run Wireshark. If root (or a sudo'd user) runs Wireshark, user
plugins WILL NOT LOAD. The following allows dumpcap to listen on network
interfaces without being run as root.
  setcap 'CAP_NET_RAW+eip CAP_NET_ADMIN+eip' `which dumpcap`

You may need to install "setcap".
  apt-get install libcap2-bin
  or
  yum install libcap2-bin

--- Notes for maintainers

  cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCPACK_GENERATOR=DEB
  make package

This will create a debian package, distribute it to the masses.
To change back into regular development mode you must rerun cmake.
  cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=
