Having problems building wireshark plugin for Ubertooth One - header files missing

[Kennedy, Smith (Wireless Architect)]

I was using the instructions for Mac OS X from this page:

http://ubertooth.sourceforge.net/usage/build/#osx

wireshark-devel is an alpha release, not a developer library --- and, while I haven't looked, it may well be the *previous* alpha release.

I will retry using the "wireshark" port instead. The difference between the two ports wasn't clear.

The issue I'm having is building the Wireshark plugin.  Following these instructions (that need to be fixed):

>   sudo port install wireshark wireshark-devel cmake

This isn't a Debian derivative and this isn't a Red Hat derivative.  (No, not even all Linuxes divide those up.) wireshark-devel is an alpha release, not a developer library --- and, while I haven't looked, it may well be the *previous* alpha release.

Don't install wireshark-devel unless you really need that particular version.
Don't blindly trust Linux install instructions; OS X is BSDish, not Linuxish. MacPorts is BSD ports/pkgsrc, not RPM, not APT; the closest Linux equivalent is Gentoo portage.

Are you sure this include file has any relevance on non-Linux? For example, Linux kernel drivers do you no good whatsoever on OS X and never will.
