Basically, you are out of luck here: Compiling Plugins outside the source
tree is not supported by our build environment. This begins with the needed
include paths, continues with the fact that we do not install any inlcudes
for oot compiles.

please read the toplevel README.win32 file: It contains the information.

Unfortunately you currently cannot see whether the api changed between two
Ethereal releases, but you can safely assume that it changed between any
two versions - in the past it changed more often than it didn't.
Result: You will need to recompile it for every version.

whenever there is an incompatible plugin api change?
PPS: To all: Is there some real interest to create an Ethereal-devel package
that contains the necessary files to allow oot compiles for plugins?

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