Hi,

This is a value that was originally defined in the wiretap module, and
externed in the dissector.
Anders reported that MSVC didn't like it
(http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ethereal-dev&m=114501864832632&w=2).

Would MSVC maybe be happy if it were declared extern in
wiretap/catapult_dct2000.h ?

NO, AFAIK a dll cannot read symbols from the dll that loads it.

It's ugly but I think it shoud be defined with diferent names in
wiretap and in epan.

How is a windows build separated into DLLs? Do the dissectors and wiretap code live in different executables?

I'm pretty sure I tested a windows buildbot build and that they obviously both referred to the same variable.

catapult_dct2000_board_ports_only is a variable that affects the behaviour of the wiretap module, and I want to control its value from the dissector preference. I didn't want to have to call a function.

Hi,

From the start the OSX buildbot has the following problem building
Wireshark:

ld: multiple definitions of symbol _catapult_dct2000_board_ports_only
wiretap/.libs/libwiretap.0.0.1.dylib(catapult_dct2000.o) definition of _catapult_dct2000_board_ports_only
epan/.libs/libwireshark.0.0.1.dylib(packet-catapult-dct2000.o) definition of _catapult_dct2000_board_ports_only
make[2]: *** [wireshark] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2
program finished with exit code 2

Either wiretap or the dissector needs to be fixed.

Thanx,
Jaap
