If, however, you want to build your *own* version of Wireshark from source, and have it include feature XXX, you must make sure that all the *developer* packages needed for feature XXX are installed - having the end-user packages is *not* enough, as that provides only enough files to allow programs *already compiled* with those packages to run, it's *not* enough to compile programs using them, as it doesn't, for example, include header files. So it is certainly possible to build Lua support into Wireshark if you're building it for Linux - the Ubuntu maintainers have done so. So it *is* built with Lua support ("with Lua 5.2.4" in the "Compiled.

I can get Wireshark to build with support for Lua in Ubuntu 20.4. > I've plans to use Lua to control tshark behavior in scripts, IF. On May 21, 2021, at 8:03 PM, Vincent Randal wrote:
