It can't be, and probably will never be able to be, built independently of the "Wireshark utilities" library, the source to which is in the wsutil directory.

Provided that this is not a published lib, that has an unstable interface, that... whatever constraint you can figure out, I think that it could be used "as-is". To achive that wouldn't be enough to add the wiretap/ to the include dirs of the compiler and the compiled .so to the linker? Is there a step I am missing? Of course since it relies on wsutils the previous steps have to be done for that too, but that's not the point.
