Ash,
You should carefully re-read the doc/README.plugins file, as some things have changed for plugins between the time you wrote your dissector and now.  

Also, keep in mind that you have plenty of other plugins to look at as examples of the changes.  Look at plugins/agentx, plugins/artnet, ...

Hi,

You have to look at the error messages from the compiler to find the errors:

> plugin.obj : error LNK2005: _version already defined in packet-xxx.obj
> plugin.obj : error LNK2005: _plugin_register already defined in packet-xxx.obj
> plugin.obj : error LNK2005: _plugin_reg_handoff already defined in packet-xxx.obj

1. You have defined version in packet-xxx.c, which is already defined
in plugin.c

2. You should not define plugin_register() and plugin_reg_handoff in
packet-xxx.c.  Rename them to plugin_register_xxx() and
plugin_reg_handoff_xxx().
