wireshark @1.12.2 configure error - unable to locate kerberos

[sayhong@…]

I wanted to run wireshark via macports with some patches to be made before compiling.

What i did
$ sudo port selfupdate
MacPorts base version 2.3.3 installed. Following I did,

$ sudo port -v extract wireshark

I did some patching to wireshark plugins. Then I ran

$ sudo port -v destroot wireshark

This threw up an error about 'checking whether the Kerberos library is Heimdal or MIT... no'.

I tried installing wireshark via the normal installation (i.e. sudo port -v install wireshark). It works but I was not able to insert additional files for compilation. Any ideas?

Output of running 'sudo port -v destroot wireshark'

It looks like ​https://trac.macports.org/ticket/37924

[larryv (Lawrence Velázquez)]

Replying to sayhong@…:

I did some patching to wireshark plugins.

It’s possible that your changes cause the configure script to be regenerated without the fix from #37924. It’s hard to say without seeing a complete main.log.

wireshark main.log file

[sayhong@…]

Hey guys,

I have uploaded the main.log file.

The patches I tried to insert were from ​https://github.com/CoreSecurity/SAP-Dissection-plug-in-for-Wireshark.

Resolving as invalid as we generally don't support manual alterations during the port process.
