My main concern is, I am willing to build a wireshark plugin dissector
outside of wireshark directory, in Linux.
For example, my wireshark source code is in $home/wireshark/ , but want
to include the plugin in $home/plugin/ which is independant from
wireshark directory, can I use the configure option:--with-plugins[=DIR]
, to achieve my goal?
That will probably work, as long as you're willing to have *ALL* of
Wireshark's plugins installed in $HOME/plugin. Given that Wireshark
already looks in $HOME/.wireshark/plugins, I'm not sure what the
advantage of using $HOME/plugin as the system plugin directory would be.
System plugin = plugin install in wireshark/plugin, personalplugin
directory = $HOME/.wireshark/plugins, is that what you mean?
Yes. Those are your two choices for where to put plugins.
