Thx for making me retry Reinhard. No idea what I did wrong the first
time, but this time it worked. After changing the variable in wtap.h and
recompiling wireshark, I was able to open pcaps with packet sizes up to
the specified size(for the test: 96k).

Looks like my project could actually work out. Now for the real work....

wrl

P.s.: I didn't change env variables. All I did was edit wtap.h

wiretap/wtap.h

- --prefix=/usr/local/wireshark-xxl
| $ env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/wireshark-xxl/lib/
LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/local/wireshark-xxl/lib/ make
| $ env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/wireshark-xxl/lib/
LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/local/wireshark-xxl/lib/ make install
| $ tshark -r /tmp/test2.pcap
| tshark: "/tmp/test2.pcap" appears to be damaged or corrupt.
| (pcap: File has 65611-byte packet, bigger than maximum of 65535)
| $ /usr/local/wireshark-xxl/bin/tshark -r /tmp/test2.pcap
| tshark: "/tmp/test2.pcap" appears to have been cut short in the middle
of a packet.
