Thanks for the reply Pascal. So for now I am ignoring this warning but it would be a great help if you could please give a step by step procedure to make it working with Qt. I read the developers guide but am not clear on this one.

As Graham said, this is explained in the developers guide here:
https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSetupWin32.html#ChSetupQt

Then you might have to set the QT5_BASE_DIR environment variable according to your installation path (looks like this info is missing in the current guide).

But you should only bother to do this is you are building from the master development branch (where all the Qt development happens).

Hello,

 

I am trying to build 1.12.2 on windows 7 machine (both 32-bit and 64-bit). I am getting the following warning:

 

nmake -f Makefile.nmake verify_tools

 

Can't find Qt. This will become a problem at some point.

 

What should be the solution to it?

 

Hi Vishnu,

as stated in the warning, it will be a problem *at some point* but we have not reached this point yet (Qt GUI is simply not mature in the 1.12 branch). So you can safely ignore this warning (even the official 1.12.2 does not bundle Qt GUI anymore) as it will not prevent to build the GTK UI and installer.
Maybe we should remove this warning in master-1.12 branch to avoid confusion.

Pascal.
