Bug 523154 – net-analyzer/wireshark-1.12.1 - configure: error: invalid package name: libnl=3

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Stuart Shelton 2014-09-18 18:38:50 UTC]

libnl is, as the wireshark configure script notes, Linux-specific.  However, the unguarded use of "use_with" causes '--without-libnl=3' to be passed to configure on OS X (or, indeed, any non-linux system), and the configure script doesn't appear to like to see parameters for '--without' options.

Actually, it looks as if the ebuild line:

$(use_with netlink libnl=3) \

... should read:

$(use_with netlink libnl 3) \


Output:

Or indeed, any system.
