I fixed the change you mentioned and am still failing at the same proto_register_field_array call.


        static hf_register_info hf[] = {
        { &hf_abc_flags,
            { "Flags", "abc.flags",

            "Transmit power for message in dBm",
            HFILL }
        },
        { &hf_abc_frameType,
            { "frameType", "abc.frameType",
            FT_UINT16, BASE_NONE,
            NULL, 0x0, NULL, HFILL }
        },
        { &hf_abc_prevHop,
            { "prevHop", "abc.prevHop",
            FT_UINT32, BASE_HEX,

        },
        { &hf_abc_duration,

should be

         { &hf_abc_txPower,
             { "txPower", "abc.txPower",
             FT_UINT8, BASE_DEC, NULL, 0x0,
             "Transmit power for message in dBm", HFILL }
         },

Stepping through the code (eg: proto_register-field_array) is the way to
find bugs like this.
