wireshark3 @3.0.2_1 [-gnutls-libsmi-libgcrypt-geoip-cares-chmodbpf-kerberos5] Configure error

[gpolitis (George Politis)]

It looks like wireshark doesn't like not having libgcrypt and the configuration step fails.

removing the -libgcrypt fixes the issue

sudo port clean wireshark3 && sudo port install wireshark3 -gnutls -libsmi -geoip -cares -chmodbpf -kerberos5

Just curious, George -- why are you interested in disabling so many of the default variants that ghosthound has set up as his recommendations? By doing that, you first of all have to build it yourself, instead of getting from the buildbot, but you also run the risk of coming up with a unique build configuration that won't build or work correctly (like this configuration, apparently).

By and large, you're generally best to go with the port author's default setup, IMHO.

Hi Ken, I needed a minimal build to read some pcap files. I got it to compile, so that's not the issue here; Really all I wanted to do is report a very minor (negligible?) thing that there's a configuration issue if libgcrypt is omitted. If you think this is a non-issue, please, by all means, feel free to close the ticket.

i get you. sounds like that variant should be removed and that configboption always enabled.

net/wireshark3: remove libgcrypt variant as configure fails if it is not used.
Resolves #58714

Built and tested with "sudo port install wireshark3 -gnutls -libsmi -geoip -cares -chmodbpf -kerberos5", appears to work fine. Thanks for the bug report!
