Wiresharkers

I got my dissector working just fine on Windows. Now I want to get it working on Linux.

On my Linux machine, I got the latest sources and did the following:
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
make install

Then I do a ./wireshark and wireshark starts up just fine.

I tried to just copy my protocol's directory from my windows machine into the plugins directory on my linux machine and do a make install....but no luck.

No luck as in... It doesn't compile? Doesn't load the plugin when you start Wireshark? ...?
