1.3. Platforms Wireshark runs on
Wireshark currently runs on most UNIX platforms and various Windows
platforms. It requires GTK+, GLib, libpcap and some other libraries in
order to run.
As Wireshark is developed in a platform independent way and uses libraries
(such as the GTK+ GUI library) which are available for a lot of different platforms,
it's thus available on a wide variety of platforms.
If a binary package is not available for your platform, you should
download the source and try to build it. Please report your experiences
to wireshark-dev[AT]wireshark.org.
Binary packages are available for at least the following platforms:
Thanks to the Win32 API, development on all Windows platforms will be
done in a very similar way. All Windows platforms referred to as Win32,
Win or Windows may be used with the same meaning.
Older Windows versions are no longer supported by Wireshark.
As Windows CE differs a lot compared to the other Windows platforms
mentioned, Wireshark will not run on Windows CE and there are no plans to
support it.
