Hello,

Here is the short story of what I did:
I wrote my dissector then added it in "plugins\ged125" I changed all the
files and what not then I compiled the entire thing. Please note, my
dissector isn't functional yet. I basically just got it to compile. That
may be my problem but I'm not sure. I hope this answers your question.

Thanks for your future help :),
martin

Hi,

When you compile the program tshark is run to create the display filter
field list. It runs into the same problem Wireshark does, hence produces
the same error message.

Back to the question: Did you develop your dissector as plugin before
you moved to a build in dissector?

Thanx,
Jaap

PS: Better keep the discussion on the list, then more enlightened people
can chime in ;)
