Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] error while doing "make rpm-package" on wireshark latest trunk

[Jeff Morriss <jeff.morriss.ws@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean: do you mean how do you ensure that 
"make rpm-package" doesn't built the Qt version of Wireshark or how do 
you do "make rpm-package" when you don't have the Qt tools installed or...?

At the moment there is no way to do "make rpm-package" without the Qt 
tools installed.  Doing so would require commenting out some of the Qt 
stuff out from the Makefiles.
