compilation hangs on Ubuntu

[Eugène Adell <eugene.adell () gmail com>]

Hello,

I'm facing a problem on my development server (Ubuntu 16.04 hosted on
VMWARE) when trying to compile Wireshark. It was working with older
versions (2.0 for example), but now it's like the compilation will never
end.
I installed/updated all the required packages, since version 2.6 seems
quite different.

I'm doing an strace -f -o to find out what could be wrong, but no clue. The
strace log being too big, here is how it looks like :

1900  execve("/usr/bin/cmake", ["cmake", "-LH", "../wireshark"], [/*
22 vars */]) = 0
1900  brk(NULL)                         = 0x2225000
1900  access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
1900  access("/etc/ld.so.preload", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
1900  open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
1900  fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=105981, ...}) = 0

...

thousands of lines such as :

1901  open("/proc/537/status", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
1901  open("/proc/538/status", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
1901  open("/proc/539/status", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
1901  open("/proc/540/status", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
1901  open("/proc/541/status", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
1901  open("/proc/542/status", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
1901  open("/proc/543/status", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
1901  open("/proc/544/status", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)


then thousands and thousands of lines such as the following, and it seems
it will never end :

1901  open("/proc/882/status", O_RDONLY) = 3
1901  fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0444, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
1901  read(3, "Name:\tvmhgfs-fuse\nUmask:\t0000\nSt"..., 1024) = 1024
1901  read(3, "0000,00000000,00000000,00000000,"..., 1024) = 263
1901  read(3, "", 1024)                 = 0
1901  close(3)                          = 0
1901  open("/proc/965/status", O_RDONLY) = 3
1901  fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0444, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
1901  read(3, "Name:\tsystemd-logind\nUmask:\t0022"..., 1024) = 1024
1901  read(3, "0000000,00000000,00000000,000000"..., 1024) = 269
1901  read(3, "", 1024)                 = 0
1901  close(3)                          = 0
1901  open("/proc/968/status", O_RDONLY) = 3
1901  fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0444, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
1901  read(3, "Name:\tdbus-daemon\nUmask:\t0022\nSt"..., 1024) = 1024
1901  read(3, "00,00000000,00000000,00000000,00"..., 1024) = 283
1901  read(3, "", 1024)                 = 0
1901  close(3)                          = 0


How can I resolve this ?

Thanks
E.A.
