You said "-G Xcode", so there shouldn't *be* makefiles, there should be Xcode project files; when I tried that, with CMake 2.8.12.2, it *did* put Wireshark.xcodeproj in the build directory.

When I tried it with -G Xcode, CMake didn't put anything in the Wireshark source directories.

The build instructions aren't intended for Xcode, and don't have any section for Xcode; there are instructions for Unix-like systems and for Windows.
