how to make tshark executable

Question

After downloading and extracting wireshark 1.7.1, I did a configure with gtk disabled. But then , I am unable to do "make" It throws the following error.

cc1: warnings being treated as errors packet-h248_annex_e.c:679: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules.

Can someone help with building and installing this wireshark version ?

Answer 1

Looks like developers left some warnings in this build. Try to configure with --disable-warninngs-as-errors.
