This probably a simple question, but I have searched high and low for an answer and been unable to find anything.
My Linux install of Wireshark was done from my home directory of /home/hello/wireshark-1.0.0 using:
./autogen.sh
./configure
make install
I followed all of the directions in the doc/README.plugins to create my plugin and it works fine when I run Wireshark as the local user. However, the .so file created in /usr/local/lib/wireshark/plugins/1.0.0 has the absolute path name "/home/hello/wireshark-1.0.0" embedded in it.
The process to re-use this plugin on a different install I assume is to just copy the .so file over to the /usr/local/lib/wireshark/plugins/1.0.0 directory on that machine, but obviously that will not work because of
the absolute path embedded in it.
What do I need to do differently to create a plugin that can be used across many different machines and installs?
Thanks in advance!
