Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Error compiling acustomdllpluginforWireshark0.99.7

OK, I guess because our toolchains differ slightly the output was a bit different and I was led astray.  Sorry about that; my stupid error.  The last problem you had was probably due to something with your version naming, but regardless, I think I’ve found the root cause of your problem.  You need to modify your plugin’s Makefile.nmake.  Actually, I think all the Wireshark plugins need their Makefile.nmake files modified.

 

Currently the CFLAGS is set to this:

CFLAGS=/WX /DHAVE_CONFIG_H /I../.. /I../../wiretap $(GLIB_CFLAGS) \

        /I$(PCAP_DIR)\include -D_U_="" $(LOCAL_CFLAGS)

 

It needs to be change to this:

CFLAGS=/WX /DHAVE_CONFIG_H /I../.. /I../../wiretap $(GLIB_CFLAGS) \

        $(PCRE_CFLAGS) /I$(PCAP_DIR)\include -D_U_="" $(LOCAL_CFLAGS)

 

By the way, in the future, it might help resolve your problem faster by discussing it in a single thread.  There’s no need to start 4 or 5 different threads that all reference the same problem.

 

Good luck,

Chris

Hi,
I made the Makefile.nmake & plugin.rc.in in plugins/xxx folder the same as that
in plugins/agentx and plugins/ciscosm folder the same. Executed a diff command to confirm that too.

Then I set the env and execute the commands at the top level.
1. nmake -f Makefile.nmake distclean
2. nmake -f Makefile.nmake all

But I got the following errors:

       cd agentx
        "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\BIN\nmake.exe" /
          -f Makefile.nmake

Or, to put it another way:

       $ cd src/cmd/wireshark/plugins
       $ ls
       Custom.nmake.example    ethercat                rlm
       Makefile                giop                    rtnet

       artnet                  mate                    unistim
       asn1                    opcua                   v5ua
       ciscosm                 opsi                    wimax
       docsis                  pcli                    wimaxasncp
       easy_codec              plugins.vcproj
       enttec                  profinet
       $ diff agentx/Makefile.nmake artnet/Makefile.nmake
       $ diff agentx/Makefile.nmake rudp/Makefile.nmake
       $

I.e., the Makefile.nmake files for those three plugins are identical -
that's the case for many of the plugins.

In other words, unless you have a *REALLY* good reason, the
Makefile.nmake for your plugin should be identical to the
Makefile.nmake for the agentx plugin (except for the RCS ID).
