Hi,

This sounds all overly complicated. You could deduce which executable/DLL is affected by you changes by unraveling the build process, but it's much easier to build you own full installer.

Thanx,
Jaap

Hello,
I'd like to make some modifications to Wireshark and package only the modified/new DLL's (or other modified files) in my own installer. This installer would then simply overwrite the original files from a stock install. My question is, how do I know which DLL's I must use based on the source files I modified? I could make the source changes and see which files have different time stamps, but is there a cleaner, more precise way? As well, it seems wireshark.exe is always created with a new build - when does a source change affect the exe? For example, if I modify the following files:
C:\wireshark\file.c
C:\wireshark\print.c
C:\wireshark\print.h
C:\wireshark\gtk\menu.c
Which DLL's (or other install files) will I need to copy for my custom install (on the target host)? Or am I just going about this the wrong way? Thank you!
