There is a script in the official Wireshark repository

Since I originally used this script myself, I started a bug to fix the state of proper documentation. We've updated user/dev guides so that you could find that script, and have only one complete set of instructions linked from:

Thanks for the information.

Got missing: SPEEXDSP_LIBRARY.

Fixed with sudo apt-get install -y libspeexdsp-dev.

Thanks for the information, already updated!

How to resolve this
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libnl-genl-3.so: error adding symbols: file in wrong format
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

How to resolve this /usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libnl-genl-3.so: error adding symbols: file in wrong format collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

It seems that there is a mismatch between the instruction set architecture of the file and the system's instruction set architecture.
Uninstall or remove /usr/local/lib/libnl-genl-3.so first,
and use this command sudo apt install libnl-route-3-dev libnl-genl-3-dev to install the NL library, the NL library can be found when Wireshark execute cmake command.

Thank you. The wireshark somehow just won't build on my Ubuntu 22.04, but your script work just fine. Big saver.
BTW, the curl is used but not installed. Perhaps add to apt install list.
