Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Autogen.sh error on ubuntu

[Balint Reczey <balint.reczey@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think the easiest way to start development on Debian or any derivative is:

(0: remove everything that may interfere with the build from /usr/local)
sudo apt-get build-dep wireshark
./autogen.sh
./configure
make

Cheers,
Balint
