Hi

I would like instructions on how to build Tshark with GeoIP enabled from source on Ubuntu 18.04. I can build from source and 'tshark -v' shows 'MaxMind DB resolver' and 'tshark -G folders' shows the 'MaxMind database path:' where the mmdb files are. But when I run 'sudo tshark -r [login to view URL] -2 -T fields -E separator=, -E quote=d -e [login to view URL] -e ip.geoip.src_country -e ip.geoip.src_city -e [login to view URL] -e [login to view URL] -e ip.geoip.dst_city -e [login to view URL]' the geoip fields are not displayed.

I install MaxMind via;

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:maxmind/ppa

sudo apt update

sudo apt install libmaxminddb0 libmaxminddb-dev mmdb-bin

I am current installing tshark via;

sudo apt install qttools5-dev qttools5-dev-tools libqt5svg5-dev qtmultimedia5-dev build-essential automake autoconf libgtk2.0-dev libglib2.0-dev flex bison libpcap-dev libgcrypt20-dev cmake -y

VER=3.2.2

wget [login to view URL]$[login to view URL] -P /tmp

cd /tmp

tar Jxf [login to view URL]

mkdir /tmp/build

cd /tmp/build

cmake /tmp/wireshark-3.2.2

make

sudo make install

One thing I noted was that some dependencies were not installed;

tshark -v

TShark (Wireshark) 3.2.2 (Git commit a3efece3d640)

Compiled (64-bit) with libpcap, without POSIX capabilities, without libnl, with

GLib 2.56.4, with zlib 1.2.11, without SMI, without c-ares, without Lua, without

GnuTLS, with Gcrypt 1.8.1, without Kerberos, with MaxMind DB resolver, without

nghttp2, without brotli, without LZ4, without Zstandard, without Snappy, without

libxml2.

Running on Linux 4.15.0-96-generic, with Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7Y54 CPU @ 1.20GHz

(with SSE4.2), with 985 MB of physical memory, with locale en_US.UTF-8, with

libpcap version 1.8.1, with Gcrypt 1.8.1, with zlib 1.2.11, binary plugins

supported (0 loaded).

Built using gcc 7.5.0.

(I have copied the 3 MaxMind mmdb files to /usr/share/GeoIP and /var/lib/GeoIP)

tshark -G folders

Temp: /tmp

Personal configuration: /home/graham/.config/wireshark

Global configuration: /usr/local/share/wireshark

System: /etc

Program: /usr/local/bin

Personal Plugins: /home/graham/.local/lib/wireshark/plugins/3.2

Global Plugins: /usr/local/lib/wireshark/plugins/3.2

Extcap path: /usr/local/lib/wireshark/extcap

MaxMind database path: /usr/share/GeoIP

MaxMind database path: /var/lib/GeoIP

When I install via package (sudo apt install tshark), this works, but I noticed there are additional dependencies.

tshark -v

When install via package this works fine.

I am testing using Ubuntu 18.04 in virtual box. Once this is working, I will put onto a physical server.
