wireshark-gresources.c is a generated source file (using glib-compile-resources).

It seems the generated code is triggering compiler warnings. GTK+ 3.4 is somewhat old so personally I'm not too concerned by this.

One of our build-bots is using Ubuntu 12.04 with GTK+ 3.10 and the warning isn't showing there.

To get Wireshark to build you can try passing "--disable-warnings-as-errors" to configure.

(I also think it is misguided that -Werror is enabled by default but that is another topic).

Any issues you have feel free to ask.
