Problem with mex while building sharktools under Mac

[brainprince]

Hi there I would like to use sharktools under Mac Os x 10.8 with matlab. The configure command runs through with out any error, but while executing the make command I get following error:

--- making matshark --- /Applications/MATLAB_R2011a.app/bin/mex -maci64 -cxx -o matshark matshark.c -L. -L/sw/lib -lgmodule-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lintl -Wl,-rpath /Applications/Wireshark.app/Contents/Resources/lib -L/Applications/Wireshark.app/Contents/Resources/lib -lwireshark -lwiretap -lwsutil -lsharktools -I. -I/Users//src/wireshark-1.8.6 -I/Users//src/wireshark-1.8.6/wiretap -I/sw/include/glib-2.0 -I/sw/lib/glib-2.0/include In file included from /Users//src/wireshark-1.8.6/epan/exceptions.h:29, from /Users//src/wireshark-1.8.6/epan/tvbuff.h:41, from /Users//src/wireshark-1.8.6/epan/ftypes/ftypes.h:149, from sharktools_core.h:52, from matshark.c:47: /Users//src/wireshark-1.8.6/epan/except.h:96: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or 'attribute' before 'void' /Users//src/wireshark-1.8.6/epan/except.h:97: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or 'attribute' before 'void' /Users//src/wireshark-1.8.6/epan/except.h:98: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or 'attribute' before 'void' /Users//src/wireshark-1.8.6/epan/except.h:99: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or 'attribute' before 'void' In file included from matshark.c:47: sharktools_core.h:99: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'capture_file' matshark.c: In function 'mexFunction': matshark.c:446: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type

mex: compile of ' "matshark.c"' failed.

make[1]: *** [matshark] Error 1 make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

I am not sure what I missed or what I could have done wrong. Any ideas ? Thanks for your help. Best -M

I am having a similar issue but with OS X 10.9. Were you able to resolve it?

Hi!

I'm havin' a similar case under ubuntu 14.04, after attemptin' sudo make I get this error message. Has anyone resolved this issue?

Best wishes, Imre!

Unfortunately, I have not had access to mex lately, so it's almost impossible for me to fix this issue.

I'd suggest using pyshark instead, but there is also the issue that I haven't tried getting pyshark to work on post-Wireshark-1.8.0 systems due to lack of need on my part. I'll try giving it a shot soon, though.

Thank you very much for your answer, Ive workd it out. Found a workaround for what I would have used sharktools for.
