How is that different from compiling other software with build dependencies? I mean, if you consider libc etc most applications have quite a large tree of build deps if you need to download _all_ libraries from scratch - it's just that in most cases you already have those deps.
Next time you need to build a golang project you most likely won't have to download all of those libs again, unless you remove them for some reason.

hi isostatic - sorry for the trouble :( I had hoped that compiling it would be quick and reliable. By default termshark will be installed in ~/go/bin/ - though it sounds like you have it compiled, it's just not running. Send me a message if you like and I'll see if I can get it working for you. There are also pre-compiled binaries at https://github.com/gcla/termshark/releases

As an old fart I expect to type "./configure; make", however it did seem to compile.
It runs, just doesn't look like it's reading anything from "sudo ./termshark -i eno1 icmp". Works fine when reading a pcap file, works fine when launching from a root session (rather than via sudo)
For wider monitoring, at key points on the network I use ntop [2] to see what's
If I want a quick overview of a given machine I load up iftop [3], which isn't very thrilling on my desktop at the moment

All of these are trivial to install (except for the RTP perl script which I have as a custom apt-gettable package) and don't require non-standard interpreters and package managers.
Nethertheless I went to get this. I had to install 540MB of support files just to run "go get github.com/gcla/termshark/cmd/termshark". Still it compliles. Then I run it, and it shows bugger all, I suspect I need to find and install more libraries (tcell, gowid), which themselves require massive downloads.
It's simply not worth it, it's like going back in time 20 years.
