My tap doesn't have a GUI, just prints some things out right now for
testing, so I put it in the TSHARK_TAP_SRC list and it seems to be ok.
Thanks.

Wireshark's Makefile is well beyond anything most people have ever edited, as it's generated by two levels of software; automake turns Makefile.am, and whatever it includes, to Makefile.in, and the configure script turns Makefile.in to Makefile. Editing Makefile itself is not recommended.
so how would I add a tap to it?
If you don't have automake, you can't do the best thing, which is to edit the appropriate Makefile.common; in that case:
If the tap has no GUI (such as a TShark-only tap), edit the top-level Makefile.in and add it to the TSHARK_TAP_SRC list.
If the tap has a GUI (a Wireshark-only tap), edit gtk/Makefile.in and add it to the WIRESHARK_TAP_SRC list.
Then re-run the configure script (it *might* rerun the configure script for you if you do a make, but I'm not sure).
If you *do* have automake (and autoconf and libtool) installed:
If the tap has no GUI (such as a TShark-only tap), edit the top-level Makefile.common and add it to the TSHARK_TAP_SRC list.
If the tap has a GUI (a Wireshark-only tap), edit gtk/Makefile.common and add it to the WIRESHARK_TAP_SRC list.
Then, if you haven't already run ./autogen.sh, do that, and then run the configure script. Otherwise, just running make should suffice.
