Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] MSVC variant problem in v1.0.5

Keep in mind, too, that the ABI for plugins is not stable. As such you must compile your plugin for each version of Wireshark.

OK, you can probably get away with reusing a plugin between some versions but there is no guarantee that the ABI won't change (and there is no notice when it does change).

Damn. Well I'm creating a custom dissector plugin for my company, which they will want to use in versions of wireshark to come. What would be the best thing to do so that my plugin will be compatible across many of the release versions?

If I download the changed files would it be the same?
Yes, you can try this. The corresponding revisions are 27186
(http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=27186) and
27200 (http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=27200)

Also, if I compile a custom dissector plugin, will it work with the official 1.0.5 version?
No, you will face the usual manifest/CRT version issues. It is better
to avoid mixing MSVC versions...

I'm trying to build wireshark v1.0.5. But i'm getting this error

C:\wireshark>nmake -f makefile.nmake setup

Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 9.00.30729.01
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.

config.nmake(439) : fatal error U1050: MSVC_VARIANT unknown
Stop.

in config.nmake i have the msvc set to MSVC_VARIANT=MSVC2008
Hi,
wireshark up to version 1.0.5 is built with MSVC6. MSVC 2008 is not supported.

How do i get it to build / what's my problem?
Get the trunk-1.0 svn repository. A patch to allow MSVC2008 building
was delivered after 1.0.5 branching.

Regards,
Pascal.
