Hi Jaap,

Hi Anders,

Are you sure? I’m concerned about the generation of plugin.c. From reading plugins/Makefile.am.inc
it seems that it only generates for dissector plugins (keyword: plugin), not for wiretap plugins (keyword: plugins_wtap)

#
plugin.c: $(REGISTER_SRC_FILES) $(top_srcdir)/tools/make-dissector-reg.py
        @echo Making plugin.c
        @$(PYTHON) $(top_srcdir)/tools/make-dissector-reg.py $(srcdir) \
                plugin $(REGISTER_SRC_FILES)

I used to write a plugin that was both a dissector and a wiretap one. I'm not using it anymore, but it used to build fine with both CMake (for sure) and autofoo (I think...) so hopefully it still works.

In the CMakeLists.txt file located in my plugin folder, I ended adding those lines:

register_dissector_files(plugin.c
    plugin_wtap
    ${DISSECTOR_SRC}
)

In the Makefile.am file located in my plugin folder, I added the following lines (copy/pasted from Makefile.am.inc with plugin replaced by plugin_wtap):

plugin.c: $(REGISTER_SRC_FILES) $(top_srcdir)/tools/make-dissector-reg.py
    echo Making plugin.c with python ; \
    $(PYTHON) $(top_srcdir)/tools/make-dissector-reg.py $(srcdir) \
        plugin_wtap $(REGISTER_SRC_FILES) ;

BR,
Pascal.



Thanks,
Jaap
