Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Testcompiling doc/packet-PROTOABBREV.c

In order to make sure we have a "current" sample file it might be
helpful to be able to actually compile our sample dissector. I did
a few small changes to (currently manually) achieve this.

Here's how to and the result:

jmayer@egg:~/work/wireshark/svn/trunk/doc> gcc -I../../build/qt-gtk3/ -I/usr/include/glib-2.0/ -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include/  -I.. -I../epan -DFIELDTYPE=FT_BYTES -DFIELDDISPLAY=BASE_NONE -DFIELDCONVERT=NULL -DBITMASK=0x0 -DPI_SEVERITY=PI_UNDECODED -DPI_GROUP=PI_NOTE -DENC_xxx=ENC_BIG_ENDIAN -DTEST_HEURISTICS=0 -DTEST_EXPERT_condition=0 -o packet-PROTOABBREV.out packet-PROTOABBREV.c

     PROTOABBREV_module = prefs_register_protocol_subtree(const char *subtree,
                                                          ^
packet-PROTOABBREV.c:253:13: error: too few arguments to function ‘prefs_register_protocol_subtree’
             proto_PROTOABBREV, proto_reg_handoff_PROTOABBREV);
             ^

 WS_DLL_PUBLIC module_t *prefs_register_protocol_subtree(const char *subtree, int id,
                         ^

Wouldi t make sense to automate this, i.e. include this file into the compile
process?

Ciao

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
