Removing the plugins prevented the error. Therefore my plugins must have been starting and they did something wrong. What significantly changed between 1.0.3 plugin initialization and 1.4.3 plugin initialization? I’ll isolate the plugin and start cutting things out until it starts up okay.

Subject: [Wireshark-dev] tshark run during build with plugins gives register_subtree_array error
Platform: Windows XP Pro SP3, MS VS 2008, Wireshark 1.4.3.
I built Wireshark with three plugins. All compiled successfully. Wireshark was built. At the line in the build:
wireshark-gtk2\tshark.exe -G | perl doc\dfilter2pod.pl doc\wireshark-filter.pod.template > doc\wireshark-filter.pod
a GUI Error dialog appeared saying:
** ERROR **: register_subtree_array: subtree item type (ett_...) not -1 ! This is a development error: Either the subtree item type has already been assigned or was not initialized to -1. aborting...
Clicking OK, I get the next GUI dialog:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Program: C:\Program\wireshark-1.4.3\wireshark-gtk2\tshark.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.
Clicking OK, the build continues at:
bash -o igncr pod2html --title="wireshark-filter - The Wireshark Network Analyzer 1.4.3-SABRE-20110208" --css=ws.css --noindex wireshark-filter.pod > wireshark-filter.html
No compilations errors are seen and the process completes successfully.
Running wireshark-gtk2\wireshark.exe starts the splash screen and the loading of components, and then the Error dialogs above appear and the application ends.
I have done a ‘distclean’ and ‘all’ and this recurs. This built well on Wireshark 1.0.3. Searching the archives gives no matches for this problem. Does anyone recognize this problem?
