BLE Sniffer in Linux using Wireshark

BLE Sniffer in Linux using Wireshark/nordic/nordic-blog/b/blog/posts/ble-sniffer-in-linux-using-wiresharkHere is a small guide on how to build Wireshark with a BLE plugin under linux, with a small example on using this plugin with the Nordic Sniffer API. ##Prerequisites nRF Dongle (PCA10031/PCA10000) or similar Working installation of SEGGER J-Linken-USTelligent Community 13RE: BLE Sniffer in Linux using Wiresharkhttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/nordic/nordic-blog/b/blog/posts/ble-sniffer-in-linux-using-wiresharkThu, 16 Aug 2018 22:10:23 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:bf7bf834-4533-44fb-856f-fccb7ad64b90softorchestra0<p>I was trying to get this setup and running on 18.04 and was running into a problem where the QT on the system was compiled with PIE and it needed PIC. I have seen this issue on my last job and the way I resolved it was to build the entire QT and use it rather than the system default. I hope that's not the case here.<br /><br />Also seems to be some possible issues as the code is looking for qt4, but on 18.04 qt5 is the default. I tried to set the default to be qt4, but the code is still looking for qt5 in the configure as well as compile. I can compile QT if I need to, but I have BTDT and not preferable for me as I have other stuff I need QT for.</p><img src="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/aggbug?PostID=848&AppID=4&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">RE: BLE Sniffer in Linux using Wiresharkhttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/nordic/nordic-blog/b/blog/posts/ble-sniffer-in-linux-using-wiresharkMon, 30 Oct 2017 08:58:45 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:bf7bf834-4533-44fb-856f-fccb7ad64b90Siva Subrahmanyam0<p>Getting fallowing error with wireshark1.12.0 source.
