Hi,

Hello,
I want to write a plugin dll for wireshark. Therefore I have compiled wireshark under XP like described in your developer guide. (it is not so easy,

No, it's not. That's why the developer guide is written.

Yes, check out LUA build into Wireshark.

without the complete wireshark ?)

No, currently it's not.

So, now I'm able to build a runable wireshark (1.0.0) with plugins. But these self build plugins are not running
in a normal installed wireshark environment (even 1.0.0) on the same XP.
I always get a 'couldn't load module  ...'

Is there a problem with a installed wireshark and a second one one the same computer as develop environment ?

Hope it helps,
