How to configure lua after Wireshark was installed (Linux)

I had Wireshark-1.10.14 on my Linux machine. I installed Wireshark-2.6.12 (from source). Now when opening Wireshark, I see that the Wireshark-2.6.12 is without Lua support (from the Wireshark > help about).

  1. What do I need to do in order for the Wireshark to open with Lua?

You need to install the lua 5.1 or 5.2 development packages. Note that wireshark still does not support lua 5.3

On Debian/Ubuntu run

sudo apt-get install liblua5.2-dev

On Fedora run

sudo dnf install compat-lua-devel

Also you could find some helper scripts in the tools sub-directory that should install all of the development dependencies.

  1. debian-setup
  2. rpm-setup.sh

then in the wireshark's build directory execute

rm CMakeCache.txt
cmake ..
