Created attachment 528522 [details] Updated spec file for the target release. Description of problem: A new parameter WS_MSVC_NORETURN has been introduced in the config.h file of the latest versions, causing the debug package to always fail. In the autoconf and pkgconfig files of the devel subpackages, config.h is not used, thus parameters need be specified as -D... in the CFLAGS: this new parameter must then be introduced in those files. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.6.2-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install package wireshark-devel 2. Try "autoconf; ./configure" with a configure.ac file containing the statement: AM_PATH_WIRESHARK(,, AC_MSG_ERROR([Wireshark development environment not found])) Actual results: Wireshark development environment not found Expected results: checking for wireshark version >= 0.0.0... yes Additional info: Please find in attachment: - The updated spec file (without version/release/changelog changes). - The updated wireshark-autoconf.m4 file

Whole wireshark-devel kind of sucks, upstream does not provide any clue how to package it correctly... I don't like the idea of adding new -D<whatever> to .pc and .m4 files everytime upstream adds new macro to config.h. But I don't have better solution, so unless I find out something over weekend, I'll blindly change those two files and I'll hope it won't change often.
I totally agree with your opinion :-( I also had some reflections about it and the only other alternative I can imagine is duplicating the config.h to another (less used) name and include it where necessary... this is only a thought for now and this solution has still to be tried/tuned/tested. Another problem related to external modules is the plugin directory name that changes with the wireshark version... but that's another topic! Have a good week-end: don't think too much!
