5.1. Introduction

Several libraries are needed to build / run Wireshark. Most of the libraries are split into three packages:

  1. Runtime package: binaries (e.g. win32 DLL's) and alike

  2. Developer package: documentation, header files and alike

  3. Source package: library sources, usually not required to build Wireshark

[Tip] Tip!

Win32: All required libraries for the MSVC generation are available at: https://anonsvn.wireshark.org/wireshark-win32-libs/trunk/packages/, but see Section 5.3, “Win32: Automated library download” for an easier way to install the libraries.
