This is only the bare minimum needed to build the textual tshark utility.
Support for more options, including the wireshark GUI, can be added later.
---
I override the $prefix configure variable because otherwise the host
/usr/include is added to the -I and -L paths. I'm not sure this is a good idea
though, since it clutters the tshark RPATH with directories from the local
build paths. If you have a better I'd be glad to hear.

  That usually means there's a broken Makefile.am and we fix it with a patch.
However, does installation still work with the prefix override?

  Why is the --with-sysroot needed?

  We normally build both dynamic and static libraries, and remove the static
library in the target.  Doesn't that work in wireshark?  Can you add a comment
to explain that?

Hi Anout,

Thanks for reviewing.

Yes. However I see $prefix added to the tshark binary RPATH, which is not 
nice. I'll try patching configure.in.

Removing --with-sysroot doesn't negatively affect build or run of tshark. I 
get the following line during configure, however:

checking for sysroot... no

Is it significant?

Without --enable-static=no build fails with:

ld: tshark: hidden symbol `__GI_atan' isn't defined

My toolchain is external:

powerpc-linux-gnu-gcc (Sourcery G++ Lite 2011.03-38) 4.5.2

Any ideas?

  You'll see that for most autoconf packages.

  Nothing right away, except maybe a missing -lm but then I don't see why it
doesn't fail in the non-static case.  But we probably don't want the static
build of tshark anyway, so just keep the --enable-static=no and add comment
explaining why it doesn't work without it.
