Hello,
I've been trying to build the AppImage version of Wireshark, this
feature has been announced since 2.9.
Since it's not documented how to build AppImages of Wireshark, I
thought I'd share my experience (hopefully, helping authors publish an
official AppImage).
The sequence of commands is pasted below. Unfortunately, they don't
result in a working AppImage:
$ ./Wireshark-3.0.2-x86_64.AppImage
/tmp/.mount_Wiresh1q9wc6/usr/bin/wireshark: error while loading shared
libraries: libQt5Multimedia.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No
such file or directory
but it should be relatively easy to fix.
sed -e 's/^# deb-src /deb-src /g' -i /etc/apt/sources.list

apt install git doxygen libappimage-dev fuse wget rsync cmake build-essential checkinstall libcurl4-openssl-dev file vim gnupg libsystemd-dev lemon
apt build-dep wireshark
wget https://1.na.dl.wireshark.org/src/wireshark-3.0.2.tar.xz
