Hi List,

(Before I piss off any snakes around here ;) Does anyone know why
dumpcap needs to be aware of Python dissectors?
This is from Makefile.am:

dumpcap_CFLAGS = $(AM_CLEAN_CFLAGS) $(py_dissectors_dir)

Thanks,
Jaap

... same question stands for Makefile.nmake, why is $(PYTHON_LIBS) included in the production rules for dumpcap?

Thanks,
Jaap
