Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] Please Test: shared libs for Unix

Note: This archive is from the project's previous web site, ethereal.com. This list is no longer active.

The attached patch turns wiretap, dfilter, ftypes and libethereal into shared
libs on Unix/Linux. Please test and report results. In case this requires
still newer auto... tools on your system, please report that too.

Thanks

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
