5.4. Qt

The Qt library is used to build the UI for Wireshark and is used to provide a platform independant UI. For more information on the Qt libraries, see Section 12.2, “The Qt Application Framework”.

5.4.1. Unix

TBD.

5.4.2. Win32 MSVC

Qt5 must be installed maunally, from the Qt installers page http://www.qt.io/download-open-source/#section-2, using the version of Qt appropriate for your compiler. Note that separate installations (into different directories) of Qt are required for 32 bit and 64 bit builds. The environment variable QT5_BASE_DIR should be set as appropriate for your environment and should point to the Qt directory that contains the bin directory, e.g. C:\Qt\Qt5.5.0\5.5\msvc2013
