Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] wiretap plugin

From: Anders Broman <anders.broman@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi,
In the folder where I have the plugin, plugin.c has the line
* Generated automatically from C:\Development\ewireshark\trunk\tools\make-dissector-reg.py.
It also has
WS_DLL_PUBLIC_DEF void
register_wtap_module(void)
{
:

I think I have modified the following files:
CMakeListsCustom.txt
plugins/CMakeListsCustom.txt
plugins/Custom.m4
plugins/Custom.make ( 3 places)
packaging/nsis/custom_plugins.txt


The Cmake file in the plugin folder has:
register_dissector_files(plugin.c
	plugin_wtap
	${DISSECTOR_SRC}
)


Regards
Anders

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)


Thanks,
Jaap
