Hi,
I’m trying to create my own custom dissector. However
I’m new to all this stuff so I’ve been following 2 tutorials:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/IP/custom_dissector.aspx
for Windows
http://www.protomatics.com/wireshark_dissector.html
for Linux
I’m working on a Windows XP machine with wireshark
1.0.5 source and MS Visual 9.0
I’m also on a virtual machine server running CentOS 5
While following the windows tutorial, after getting to the nmake –f Makefile.nmake all step, I get a strange error. I was hoping maybe someone could help me fix it because I have no idea.
…
Creating library libwireshark.lib and object libwireshark.exp

Stop.
Also, after talking with
someone from the linux tutorial, and getting a modified ‘makefile’,
I was able to create the packet-foo.so file. However, there was no common
directory for .so files. After downloading version 1.0.3, I found that there
was a common .so folder at /usr/lib/wireshark/plugins/1.0.3
and I was able to load my plugin in v1.0.3. But v1.0.5 doesn’t have this
folder but has the .so files under /root/wireshark-1.0.5/plugins/gryphon/.libs
instead for each individual plugin. So it confuses me how plugins
are now loaded in v1.0.5 and I was wondering how I should go about creating
dissectors or where to go from here.
Thanks for any help,
