I don't believe that plugins have to be disabled on Mac OS X in order for
ethereal to compile on that platform. You can try after all.
Otherwise, try "make install" => It should create the *.so and *.la file in
/usr/local/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.99.0 then you just have to remove the
directory and copy these files into /opt/local/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.99.0
b/c as you want.

Date: Sun, 11 Jun 2006 11:36:58 -0500Yeah that's exactly what I did, and no *.so file :( I don't see anything in the Makefile that says anything about any *.so files. The *.la file says that the library needs to be installed in /usr/local/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.99.0, but that directory does not exist. I want the *.so file to be in /opt/local/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.99.0 b/c that's where the other plugins are.One of my friends told me yesterday that plugins have to be disabled on Mac OS X in order for ethereal to compile on that platform. Is this true? Maybe that's what's going on?-Nathan kyan-ki kyan-ki wrote:You just need to have *.so file to add a plugin. To build it, try "make all" in the directory concerned by the plugin.

Date: Sat, 10 Jun 2006 14:56:11 -0500I'm having some trouble just trying to figure out how to do a simple compile and install of a ethereal dissector plugin. I am using OS X on intel. I downloaded the source code for 0.99.0 and I see that there is a plugins directory in the source tree. If I run ./configure and then make in the plugins directory I get some *.la files. Then I tried copying one of the *.la files into the plugins directory of my darwin ports install of ethereal (i.e. /opt/local/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.99.0/)I can't seem to get anything to work. I tried modifying the source code of one of the plugins to use a different tcp port just to see if it is working, but it didn't seem to do anything. Is there a way to tell if the plugin has loaded or not? Do I need a *.so file? All of the other plugins in that directory have *.la and *.so, but when I compile I only get a *.la file. Sorry for my ignorance. I'm kind of in a time crunch and I don't see much documentation on this. Any help would be appreciated.-Nathan _______________________________________________ Ethereal-dev mailing list Ethereal-dev@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.ethereal.com/mailman/listinfo/ethereal-dev_________________________________________________________________Windows Live Mail : venez tester la version b�ta ! http://www.ideas.live.com/programpage.aspx?versionId=5d21c51a-b161-4314-9b0e-4911fb2b2e6d_______________________________________________ Ethereal-dev mailing list Ethereal-dev@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.ethereal.com/mailman/listinfo/ethereal-dev_______________________________________________ Ethereal-dev mailing list Ethereal-dev@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.ethereal.com/mailman/listinfo/ethereal-dev
