Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] error with packet.h

Date: Fri, 7 Dec 2007 16:38:13 +0530
Hello ,
 
I tried including a file packet-test.c in the wireshark/plugin/test directory to understand the inclusion of dissection for a test protocol.
But the compilation fails with the following error :

Since these errors are pointing towards standard files( packet.h , prefs.h , etc ) , could anyone please suggest what may be going wrong.
 
Thanks in advance.
