Hello everybody,

i have developed and build a dissector plugin in windows but i have to run it on a linux ubuntu machine. I haven't really developed in linux so far, thus i know only the basics. A dissector plugin tutorial for linux would help me a lot.

I tried to find one but all i found are unsorted info in the mailing list. All the tutorials in wireshark.org and readme files are for windows. I read in the mailing-list that the reason for it is that in windows should be more difficult to build a dissector than in linux, so for linux no need for tutorial.

Nevertheless i wanted to ask if somebody knows a linux tutorial that i missed, for a better development experience.
As i said before, i already have the dissector code (packet-xxx.c).

Thanks a million
Spanos
