Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] Modifying a dissector query

Hi all -

     Firstly, I am not a developer. However, to try
and figure out how things work in Ethereal, I was
modifying parts of the code for the HSRP dissector. I
then decided that I wanted to get rid of
packet-hsrp.c, and put in my own version,
packet-myhsrp.c.

1. I modified Makefile.am and Makefile.nmake, and did
a `make'. For some reason, when I looked at
Makefile.in, I could see the old hsrp and not my new
code. I did a lot of searching, found some link to
autogen.sh, ran it and somehow it worked, and I got a
packet-myhsrp.o after running make. If someone could
explain why it worked after running autogen.sh, that
would be great. A link would be even better.

More importantly, now I have my HSRP code in, but when
I decode HSRP packets, it still decodes using the
original HSRP code. ( I know, because I modified all
the text that should be in the info columns )

Thanks
