It builds reasonably easily (albeit very slooooly) from the source. I
must say I am impressed with the wireshark project. It is very well
managed. They have a buildbot which just builds the source on different
machines. If it breaks, it emails the developers with the names of those
who have made changes in the CVS. I've never been a developer, but was
on the developer mailing list some time. I was very impressed with it all.

I guess I'll have to go that way.

The thing that was always appealing about Sunfreeware was that you didn't
need to download a complete build/compile/deploy environment separately
from the OS. Seems a bit moot now, though.

Thanks,

SunFreeware used not to put dependencies between their packages, or
link using -R. Have they stopped doing that?
